![A source familiar with te testimony, provided CNN a copy of the one of the checks sent to Michael Cohen to be exhibited in the hearing today. According to the draft of Cohen's testimony obtained by CNN, the check shows:
As Exhibit 5A to my testimony shows, I am providing a copy of a $35,000 check that President Trump personally signed from his personal bank account on August 1, 2017 -- when he was President of the United States -- pursuant to the cover-up, which was the basis of my guilty plea, to reimburse me -- the word used by Mr. Trump's TV lawyer -- for the illegal hush money I paid on his behalf. This $35,000 check was one of 11 check installments that was paid throughout the year -- while he was President. Other checks to reimburse me for the hush money payments were signed by Don Jr. and Allen Weisselberg. See, for example, Exhibit 5B.](https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/190227074153-01-michael-cohen-trump-check.jpg?q=x_0,y_0,h_1688,w_2999,c_fill/w_1280)

See copy of check allegedly signed by Trump
A source familiar with Michael Cohen's prepared testimony to Congress provided CNN with a copy of a $35,000 check President Donald Trump allegedly sent to Michael Cohen. There's nothing written on the check to specify its purpose. However, Cohen's prepared testimony submitted to Congress and obtained by CNN says the check reimbursed him for hush money payments to silence Stormy Daniels about her alleged affair with Trump. Trump denies having an affair with Daniels.
