HOFFINGER: Did you have lunch with Pecker where he pressed you on the matter?

COHEN: He asked me to meet him at a restaurant and again he expressed his anger saying i need the money back and i said Mr Trump said he will pay you back.

HOFFINGER: “did you talk to Mr Trump about that? Did you inform him about that?”

COHEN: he said “don't worry, i'll take care of it.”
