"I often stated, 'One way or the other, Mexico is going to pay for the Wall,' " Trump said on Twitter. Instead, the issue is the $5 billion Trump wants to beef up border security and start building his long-promised wall on the Mexico border. CNN reported later Thursday that Trump had been in the room when Cohen and Pecker discussed the hush payment. "I don't even know what he said about me," Trump said of Flynn. If Flynn says the President did anything wrong, Trump will surely have his own story to explain it away.
