Summary
Michael Cohen has never represented me in any matter. I never retained him, received an invoice, or paid legal fees. I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input and perspective. I assumed those conversations were confidential, but to be absolutely clear they never involved any matter between me and a third-party. In response to some wild speculation, let me make clear that I did not ask Michael Cohen to bring this proceeding on my behalf, I have no personal interest in this proceeding, and, in fact, asked that my de minimis discussions with Michael Cohen, which dealt almost exclusively about real estate, not be made a part of this proceeding.

| 0:02.0 | Everybody's going insane here. Linda, you watching all this? |
| 0:07.2 | Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about. There's nothing going on. |
| 0:09.2 | No, there's nothing going on. We know we bomb Syria. And anyway, so New York today had a big, |
| 0:15.2 | big hearing. Stormy Daniels was in there. Stormy Daniels attorney was in there. |
| 0:20.4 | And I guess that Michael Cohen had to list the people that were that he's done some work with |
| 0:27.6 | or whatever. I don't know what the full thing was that actually went on there. |
| 0:31.9 | So I've known Michael a long, long time. And let me be very clear to the media. |
| 0:38.5 | Michael never represented me in any matter. I never retained him in the traditional sense as |
| 0:46.0 | retaining a lawyer. I never received an invoice from Michael. I never paid legal fees to Michael. |
| 0:54.4 | But I have occasionally had brief discussions with him about legal questions about which I wanted his input |
| 1:02.7 | and perspective. And I assume that those conversations were attorney client confidential. |
| 1:11.1 | But and the other thing I will I will need to point out to the media that is apparently going |
| 1:16.0 | insane over this. Not one of any issue I ever dealt with Michael Cohen on ever, ever involved |
| 1:24.4 | a matter between me and any third party. Now I have eight attorneys that I use for varying |
| 1:33.0 | things in my life. And in this particular case, you know, I like to have people that I can run |
| 1:38.2 | questions by. And Michael very generously would give me his time. And we'd always say, okay, |
| 1:43.7 | attorney client. Yeah, good. Okay. Good. And I'd ask him a legal question. And that's it. |
| 1:49.9 | And I don't think that, you know, I don't think that that is that complicated. How did this blow up |
| 1:57.7 | to be such a big deal? I never had any case with him and any involved any third party none whatsoever. |
| 2:04.0 | Why do you think the media is going insane with this? I mean, let's think about it this way too, Sean. |
