President Donald Trump should have reported a reimbursement to his attorney Michael Cohen for a payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels in his 2017 public financial disclosure, the director of the government’s ethics office said.
The Office of Government Ethics concluded that “the payment made to Mr. Cohen is required to be reported as a liability," the agency’s acting director David Apol said in a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
