No. He said he
reimbursed Cohen for the money that Cohen paid to Daniels and McDougal. Cohen is the one who claims that Trump instructed him to do as much (effectively confirming his own guilt in the process). Did Trump ever admit to colluding / instructing Cohen to make the payment? Lanny Davis released some mumbled recording - that is about it. Trump has said that he reimbursed Cohen - that is totally different to saying "Yeah, I knew about it at the time, told him to do it, etc etc". You have to parse the words very carefully - Rudy might be coaching him but this is exactly what he said:

“Later on I knew, later on,” Trump told Fox & Friends. “What [Cohen] did — and they weren’t taken out of the campaign finance, that’s the big thing. That’s a much bigger thing.

Trump’s remarks contradict Cohen’s statement, made under oath in a federal court, in which he said that Trump instructed him to make the payments.
Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations, tax evasion and bank fraud. His plea deal states that the payments were made specifically to influence the 2016 presidential election by covering up Trump’s alleged extramarital affairs.
Trump has accused Cohen of making up stories in order to secure a deal from prosecutors.

Cohen has made accusations which have confessed his
own guilt which he tried to tie Trump to. Trump has made absolutely
no statement corroborating it as such.
