    WASHINGTON — President Trump’s longtime lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, secretly recorded a conversation with Mr. Trump two months before the presidential election in which they discussed payments to a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump, according to lawyers and others familiar with the recording.

    The F.B.I. seized the recording this year during a raid on Mr. Cohen’s office. The Justice Department is investigating Mr. Cohen’s involvement in paying women to tamp down embarrassing news stories about Mr. Trump ahead of the 2016 election. Prosecutors want to know whether that violated federal campaign finance laws, and any conversation with Mr. Trump about those payments would be of keen interest to them.

    Uh oh! Time to release it. If trumps telling the truth (he’s not) or lying, we’ve a right now know!
    What it could tell us
    1. Does trump acknowledge doing the deed with the sex worker?
    2. Do they discuss why it’s important to keep her quiet?
    3. Does he mention to election as a concern?

    Doubtful. Everyone already knows he’s lying about it.

    Thank you you’re right! I mixed up my trump affairs!
    I wonder if this is the one who the RNC guy claimed he slept with, despite many speculating it was trump and that the RNC Guy paid her off on trumps behalf...

    Just because your sides scummy espionage fixing to fix the election followed by corrupt US intelligence agencies colluding to drive the president from office, failed, you have lost faith in Americans? You probably need to knit yourself a pussyhat and nail together a sign and find a corner to protest on.

    Maybe. Maybe not.

    Since it was seized, and not given to them by Michael, and since NY is a one party consent state, not sure he has any culpability in this.

    This is some serious incoherent rambling

    Apart from the legal ramifications of any campaign finance fraud that may have occurred the only other interesting thing about this news is that another lie of Donald Trump has been exposed. I wonder how many more have to be before it clicks with his supporters that he is a liar. And not even a very good one. Trump called this "fake news" and now we see that "fake news" is just a euphemism for bad news.

    wow. I don't know how else to interpret this....but it looks to me like leftists will happily throw away attorney-client privilege if the prospect of more free stuff hangs in the balance.

    If investigators have it then a judge ruled it’s not covered. So obviously theyre conspiring to break a law on this tape.
    Another reason we should demand ifs release!
