Trump battles furor over Stormy Daniels hush payment

An angry Donald Trump dismissed a growing storm over a hush money payment to an adult movie star as "crap" Friday, as it threatened to become a second front in the president's deepening legal troubles. Trump promised to clarify what he called a "very simple" story after his newly recruited lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, revealed the president had reimbursed his personal attorney for the payment to Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, implied the payment was made just weeks before the election to prevent Daniels from hurting Trump's chances to win -- which if true could potentially have been a criminal violation of election laws.
