In Fox & Friends call-in, contradicts Stormy Daniels denial and reserves right to intervene at DOJ

In a roughly 30-minute call-in interview on Fox & Friends, Trump acknowledged for the first time that Michael Cohen represented him in "this crazy Stormy Daniels deal," undercutting his April 5 statement that reporters would "have to ask Michael Cohen" about a payment he knew nothing about; federal prosecutors cited the remarks in court the same day to argue Cohen did little genuine legal work. In the same interview Trump attacked his own Justice Department, saying "I have decided that I won't be involved with the Justice Department. I will wait until this is over" — framing non-interference in a criminal investigation touching himself as a revocable personal choice — and renewed attacks on James Comey as "a leaker and he's a liar." The interview compressed self-incriminating contradiction, threatened interference with law enforcement, and attacks on an investigation witness into a single broadcast.
