Both Trump and Giuliani have appeared on Fox News in recent days for interviews that Avenatti has claimed bolster Daniels's case in a lawsuit seeking to void a nondisclosure agreement with Trump and his personal attorney, Michael Cohen.

That nondisclosure agreement — and an accompanying $130,000 payment to the adult-film actress — was intended to prevent Daniels from speaking publicly about an alleged affair with Trump that occurred more a decade ago.

In an interview on "Fox & Friends" last week, Trump acknowledged that Cohen had represented him in dealings with Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.

Then, in an appearance on Fox News's "Hannity" on Wednesday, Giuliani made a bombshell revelation that Trump had reimbursed Cohen for the $130,000 payment to Daniels, contradicting the president's past claim that he knew nothing of the transaction.

Trump on Thursday acknowledged in a tweet that he did reimburse Cohen for the payment, but insisted that it was necessary to protect himself against Daniels's "false and extortionist accusations" and that none of the money came from his presidential campaign.

"The agreement was used to stop the false and extortionist accusations made by her about an affair, despite already having signed a detailed letter admitting that there was no affair," Trump wrote in a pair of tweets.
