The biggest news over the last 24 hours has been Rudy Giuliani's interview on Fox News where he revealed the Donald Trump repaid Michael Cohen for the "hush money" payment made to silence adult film star Stormy Daniels. With Giuliani offering a conflicting stance to what Trump has said in the past, a host on Fox News decided to speak out.

Fox News on Trump

In recent months, the scandal linking Donald Trump to an affair with Stormy Daniels has dominated the news cycle. When the story was first made public by the Wall Street Journal back in January, the paper also revealed that Trump's long-time lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 in hush money during the 2016 election so she would stay silent about their relationship.

In the weeks and months that have followed, Trump has spoken little about the allegations, though he has gone on record denying any knowledge about the hush money payment. After Cohen had his offices raided by the FBI last month, Trump went on to hire former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani as his lawyer.

During an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday, Rudy Giuliani contradicted Trump's previous denial, claiming that the president in fact paid back Michael Cohen for the hush money payment made to Stormy Daniels.

Giuliani has since attempted to clarify his remarks, but that didn't stop Fox News host Neil Cavuto from ripping into Trump during a May 3 segment. "Mr. President. How can you drain the swamp if you’re the one that keeps muddying the waters?" Cavuto asked.

"You didn’t know about the $130,000 payment to a p*rn star till you did," Neil Cavuto pointed out, before adding, "You acknowledged today you were the guy behind the retainer payment." Not stopping there, Cavuto went on to call Trump out for too often pushing misinformation.

"I'm having a devil of a time figuring out which news is fake," he said, before admitting "Your own words gave me lots of pause." Cavuto then listed several examples, including the Russian hacking of the 2016 election. "Like the time you said the Russians didn’t interfere in the 2016 elections until a lot of Republicans had to remind you they did," he noted.

Moving forward

With the Stormy Daniels scandal remaining a hot topic, it's unlikely that Donald Trump is going to be able to avoid the push back, especially with Michael Cohen in court defending himself from the aforementioned FBI raid. With even some on the conservative-friendly Fox News questioning Trump's information, only time will tell if the president is able to bounce back.
