President Trump Says He Did Not Commit Campaign Finance Violations

President Trump said he did not commit any campaign finance violations, following the guilty plea made by his former attorney.
In an interview released Thursday, the president said he did not know about payments Michael Cohen made to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal as part of non-disclosure agreements until after they were made.
The president also said the payments did not come from campaign funds, but instead came from him personally, adding, the source of the money does not constitute a campaign finance violation.
“…did they come out of the campaign because that could be a little dicey, and they didn’t come out of the campaign, and that’s big,” President told a reporter. “But they weren’t…it’s not even a campaign violation — if you look at President Obama, he had a massive campaign violation…”
The president said former President Obama’s situation was handled differently, because he had a different attorney general.
