A major donor to President Trump reached a deal earlier this year to pay Michael Cohen a $10 million reward if the president’s then-lawyer could secure funding involving a government loan for a nuclear power plant, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
Franklin Haney, who donated $1 million to the Trump inauguration fund, reportedly reached an agreement with Cohen in April to lobby on his behalf for funding for the Bellefonte Nuclear Power Plant in Alabama.
The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that Haney was seeking a $5 billion loan from the Department of Energy as part of funding for the project.
Haney denied entering "a contract with Michael Cohen or his affiliate for lobbying services related to the Bellefonte project," through his lawyer Larry Blust, according to the Journal.
