Trump chides Rudy Giuliani to “get his facts straight” on Stormy Daniels

Stiller’s Cohen then manages to correctly dial Giuliani, played by SNL regular Kate McKinnon. Johansson smiles: “He says you’re fine”.

The judge added, summing up Mueller’s probe, “We said this was what [the] investigation was about, but we are not bound by it and we were lying”. “That means the whole investigation was totally unnecessary”.

Stiller, reprising his role as President Trump’s embattled attorney Michael Cohen, shiftily sidles up to a phone booth and calls Trump, who is sitting in the Oval Office reading Par 4 magazine.

Donald Trump’s alleged hush payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels has become a new legal challenge for the White House, grabbing headlines from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s ominous Russian Federation collusion investigation.

In it, Baldwin playing Mr Trump instructs his lawyer to “call up Stormy Daniels and fix this once and for all” and keep him on the line to listen in.

Cohen then receives a call from first lady Melania Trump, who says she has a “completely hypothetical question for a friend”, and asks whether the president’s wife could testify against him if she wanted to. “It’s not campaign money”.

After a week full of news related to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and her disputes with President Donald Trump, “Saturday Night Live” brought in the woman herself to square off against their fake president in the show’s cold open. The President said that he would view any investigation into his finances as “a violation”.

“Mr. Trump evidently has participated in a felony and there must be serious consequences for his conduct and his lies and deception to the American people”, Avenatti told the Associated Press.

He returned to Fox News and on Thursday morning and made things even worse.

“He started yesterday”, Trump said of Giuliani, who started two weeks ago.

Despite NBC making the appropriate correction from “tapped” to “monitored”, US President Donald Trump’s Twitter fingers were already in motion to cripple their credibility.

“It’s a different Rudy”.

Giuliani, a former New York City mayor and USA attorney, joined Trump’s legal team last month.

In 2017, she was ordered to complete 180 hours’ community service after being convicted of forging Lanark and Carluke Choral Union cheques as part of an attempt to cover the cost of the choir’s 2014 trip to perform at New York’s Carnegie Hall to celebrate Martin Luther King Jnr day. A possible Senate run was abandoned after a cancer diagnosis. Mueller, a longtime Republican, was appointed by former President George W. Bush.

Manafort was charged with bank fraud and money laundering a year ago, alongside a business associate, for his alleged efforts to cover up money made by lobbying for pro-Russia political parties in Ukraine.

The Justice Department announced last month that Cohen has been “under criminal investigation” for months in NY regarding his business dealings. He has known Trump for decades – his bomb-throwing rhetorical style can at times mirror that of the president – and he became an aggressive surrogate for the celebrity businessman from the early days of his insurgent presidential campaign.

Like his fellow late-night hosts, Noah seemed perplexed by Giuliani’s apparent inability to stay on-mission when it comes to discussing the president’s legal affairs.
