President Trump said Friday that the United States did not pay any money to North Korea, which had issued a $2 million bill for the hospice care of American Otto Warmbier, the comatose University of Virginia student sent home from Pyongyang in 2017. …
Warmbier, who was 21, fell into a coma for unknown reasons the night he was sentenced to 15 years in prison in North Korea with hard labor in March 2016.
After his sentencing, the North Koreans held on to the comatose student for 15 more months, not even telling American officials until June 2017 that he had been unconscious all that time.

But you should suspect Trump is lying – not just because he’s a pathological liar, but because he also said he didn’t pay porn star Stormy for silence about their romp.
Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, testified before Congress on Wednesday that the president reimbursed him for payments he made to adult film star Stormy Daniels to maintain her silence about an alleged affair with Trump before the 2016 election.
‘He asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair, and to lie to his wife about it, which I did,’ Cohen said in his opening statement before the House oversight committee.
