Trump lawyer pounces at MSNBC host in on-air spat over hush money case papers

Trump lawyer Joseph Tacopina reached for MSNBC host Ari Melber’s papers live on air as they argued over the former president’s hush money case involving porn actor Stormy Daniels.

Mr Melber was reading from a transcript of Mr Trump saying that he didn’t know of the hush money payment to Ms Daniels made during the 2016 campaign to prevent her from going public with her claim that she had an affair with Mr Trump in 2006.

MSNBC played a clip of Mr Trump being questioned by the press on whether he was aware of the payment to Ms Daniels.
