Pence: No Pay of Hush Money from Trump to Porn Star.
BALDWIN: Vice President Mike Pence is flat-out denying reports that, at the time, private citizen Donald Trump had an affair with this porn star and had his lawyer pay her hush money. While this porn star, Stormy Daniels, is capitalizing on her new notoriety, Daniels appeared at a strip club in Greenville, South Carolina, over the weekend.</s>BALDWIN: The owner won't tell us how much he paid her or how much she made but booked her as soon as he saw published reports on the alleged affair.</s>JAY LEVY, OWNER, THE TROPHY CLUB: Talked to her agent. They said the only thing she has open is this saturday night. I said done. At that point I didn't realize it was the inauguration anniversary or the other stuff going on. I'm not a showman. I'm a promoter. Tonight is a performance burlesque, if you will, a strip tease show, whatever you want to call it. There's no politics involved. I happened to be dumb lucky for when it's happening.</s>BALDWIN: Let's get to the political part. As for the alleged hush money, this watchdog group says it may have violated campaign laws pair of federal complaints to seek if Michael Cohen, president's personal attorney, alleged $130,000 payment was an unreported in-kind contribution to the president's 2016 campaign. We go to Mark Geragos for this, CNN legal analyst and defense attorney. Mark, the organization calling on the Justice Department and the FEC to fully investigate. The White House saying, meanwhile, all of this is baseless. Do you see signs of campaign violations here?</s>MARK GERAGOS, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: The only way it's a campaign violation is if they used campaign funds or it was routed through the campaign. They don't have to go very far because Jared Kushner's lawyer is Abby Lowell, who represented John Edwards in his campaign finance prosecution over paying off his mistress. So, he's well aware of what the laws are. I know Michael Cohen apparent, if you believe what's reported, set up a separate LLC, routed the money, the $130,000. By the way, the $130,000 makes some sense. The reason that rings true to me is my guess is that she said I want $100,000 net into my pocket and her lawyer took the $30,000.</s>BALDWIN: Mark Geragos, I wish we had more time.</s>BALDWIN: Add a new job title for you.
