Trump insists hush money payments by Cohen were legal

US President Donald Trump has insisted that payments to two women who say he had affairs with them did not break election campaign rules.
It comes after his ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to violating laws during the 2016 presidential election over his handling of the hush money.
Interviewed by Fox & Friends, Mr Trump said the payments had come from him personally, not from the campaign.
He has in the past denied knowing about one of the payments altogether.
Mr Trump also accused Cohen of making up stories to receive a lighter sentence.
