[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Cohen is Neutral . "In a private transaction in 2016  I used my own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130 000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford "  Michael Cohen  said in a statement. "Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford  and neither reimbursed me for the payment  either directly or indirectly."
Just weeks before the 2016 election   Cohen  reportedly created a private LLC to pay Clifford  otherwise known as Stormy Daniels  following an alleged July 2006 encounter with Trump  The Wall Street Journal reported in January
Following initial reports last month that  Cohen  had made the payment   he  said in a statement that Trump "vehemently denies" any encounter between the two.
In January   the organization Common Cause filed complaints with the Federal Election Commission and the Justice Department  alleging that the reported payment to Clifford constituted a campaign finance violation. But on Tuesday   Cohen 's statement denied that accusation and said the monetary exchange was "lawful" and "not a campaign contribution."
"The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful  and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone "  Cohen  said.
 Cohen  also said  he  filed a reply with the FEC  but that filing will not be public until the agency has resolved the matter.
When asked why  he  made the payment   Cohen  told CNN: "Just because something isn't true doesn't mean that it can't cause you harm or damage. I will always protect Mr. Trump."

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Alia Shawkat is Positive . How high up the ladder does a woman need to climb before she feels her voice is heard? The unfortunate answer  is that getting to the top doesnât bring any guarantees  actor and start of  "Search Party" Alia Shawkat  told me on "Salon Talks."
âIâll be on a set with a male actor  weâre both in the same role  same position of power on set. And Iâll suggest an idea and itâs talked over  and then heâll say it and everyone listens  " Shawkat  said.
Itâs an experience that too many women are familiar with  no matter where they work.  Shawkat  is an accomplished actress with roles in cult favorites ("Arrested Development " "Transparent " "Broad City")  who stars in the TBS comedic murder mystery âSearch Partyâ and is the executive producer of the upcoming film  âDuck Butter."
âThereâs a hunger to gain power on set as women  and literally my voice is not always heard. And thatâs the most frustrating part  repeating  myself  "  she  said.
While the current societal focus is on allegations of sexual harassment and assault that have been brought to light  as well as holding men in positions of power accountable for their actions   Shawkat  believes those steps are just the beginning to addressing gender dynamics in Hollywood.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mitt Romney is Negative . But now he has been elected president and accordingly , if I could have helped shape foreign policy to protect the country I love , I would have been more than willing to do so ," Romney said through a spokesperson . 
How does Romney now speak out when Trump next disgraces himself & the country on something Romney cares about ? 
And while the Trump team offered cordial , diplomatic niceties for Romney , a step removed from that orbit , the president-elect 's confidants were gloating about a former rival 's diminishment . 
As Romney noted , he and Reid have a fraught history , with the senator once infamously accusing Romney of not having paid taxes for 10 years . 
"Mitt Romney is somebody I had respect for ," Reid said , in a somewhat dubious assertion . 
But it stood to reason that next to Trump 's other options for secretary of state , Reid might have found Romney the most capable of the bunch . 
He replied that by showing a willingness to work for a man he so thoroughly criticized , Romney had proved himself incapable for the task of secretary of state . 
"I would n't want someone who has the character that Mitt Romney is showing ," Reid said . 
Over the past few weeks , Donald Trump made a spectacle of his consideration of Mitt Romney for the role of America 's chief diplomat . 
On Tuesday morning , "The Apprentice : Foggy Bottom Edition" culminated in Trump announcing that he was passing over Romney for the post , choosing Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson instead . 
"Donald Trump was interviewing Mitt Romney for secretary of State in order to torture him ," Stone said . 
In dispensing with Romney the way he did , Trump defanged a potential critic . 
Romney 's defenders have framed his decision to offer himself up for the secretary of state position as an act of patriotism . 
In a statement to HuffPost , Romney expressed no regret for changing his approach to a president-elect he once called a con artist . 
Reid argued that Romney , who 'd called Trump a fraud during the presidential campaign , had lost any ability to criticize the soon-to-be-president by eagerly offering himself up for the secretary of state gig .
