That’s not how evidence works. The onus is not on Trump to prove a negative. And crucially:

”Rtskhiladze later admitted he had been told the tapes were fake, but he did not communicate that to Cohen, the report says.”

Literally a hoax.

Of course. As I said - it was a set of unsubstantiated claims. Some turned out to be false, but some didn't. It wasn't a bogus dossier.

> Literally a hoax.

So you pull the one footnote from that which supports your viewpoint and ignore all the rest that doesn't?

The point wasn't if the tapes were fake: the point was if Trump believed they might exist.
