JUST IN: President Trump says he did not know about $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, and tells reporters they would have to ask his attorney, Michael Cohen, why the payment was made, and adds that he does not know where Cohen obtained the money for the payment.

Reporter: "Mr. President, did you know about the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels?"

These are the first public, on the record comments of any kind about @StormyDaniels from @realDonaldTrump – ethically where does this leave Michael Cohen? Making payments on behalf of his client but without client knowing?? https://t.co/YAZan4ZMk3

— Jon Sopel (@jonsopel) April 5, 2018

Equally significant to the denial is Trump saying Cohen is his attorney, which some WH officials have privately contested. This makes attorney-client privilege assertion likelier. https://t.co/l9XXusurV7

We very much look forward to testing the truthfulness of Mr. Trump's feigned lack of knowledge concerning the $130k payment as stated on Air Force One. As history teaches us, it is one thing to deceive the press and quite another to do so under oath. #searchforthetruth #basta

The leader of Northern Ireland's dominant unionist party has said that if there was a united Ireland she would probably leave the country. Most unionist politicians who I spoke to today – among them a DUP MP – said that in that scenario they would stay.https://t.co/QQr8wI6HpO

Arlene Foster/DUP is saying she will leave the island of Ireland if unification comes. She has done nothing to sell an inclusive unionism. She could afford to leave,most couldn’t. What a mediocre politician she is. 🤔

— Paul Patrick (@PaulTyredagh81) April 4, 2018

Didn’t catch the Patrick Kielty programme, but I’m surprised Arlene Foster intends to leave Ireland in the event of a vote for reunification. Where’s she going? After all, it will have been a British Government that called the referendum in the first place.

— Kevin Meagher (@KevinPMeagher) April 5, 2018

So Arlene Foster would rather leave than live in a united Ireland… Obviously her Britishness is more important to her than her home. Not much you can do with that mindset
