WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he found out only after the fact about payments his then-lawyer Michael Cohen made to silence two women who said they had had affairs with Trump, adding that the money came from him and not his campaign.

“Later on I knew,” Trump told Fox News Channel when asked if he knew about the payments. “And they’re weren’t taken out of campaign finance ... They didn’t come out of the campaign; they came from me.”

Cohen, in pleading guilty to eight criminal charges of tax evasion, bank fraud and campaign finance violations, told a federal court on Tuesday that Trump directed him to arrange the payments to influence the 2016 presidential election - a claim at odds with Trump’s statement.
