Cohen Faces December Sentencing on U.S. Charges: Plea Update
President Donald Trump’s longtime lawyer and fixer Michael D. Cohen is in federal court pleading guilty to federal charges stemming from hush payments to women who claimed to have had affairs with the president. Cohen has been under investigation since at least April, when the FBI raided his home and office. Investigators have looked into Cohen’s role in payments to silence two women who say they had affairs with Trump: Stephanie Clifford, an adult film actress better known as Stormy Daniels, and former Playboy model Karen McDougal.

Republicans, it’s time to get off the Trump Train. Think it’s bad now? It gets a lot worse from here. It’s never too late to do the right thing. 🇺🇸

Michael Cohen reaches a plea deal on same day Paul Manafort is found guilty on 8 counts (2 of which implicate the Trump campaign).
Quite a day for a witch hunt hoax investigation, right?

Michael Cohen: I paid off a porn star and Playboy model on behalf of Donald Trump to influence the 2016 election.
Trump Supporters: Yeah he did, but what does that have to do with Russia? Who cares when Hillary is still walking around as a free woman?

Do I dare hope this development and Manafort’s conviction will finally lead to the end of our national nightmare?
The president's personal lawyer pleads guilty to paying off porn stars *at the direction of the current leader of the free world* and POTUS' campaign chairman is found guilty of multiple crimes — and this is your reaction? Maybe there is no bottom…https://t.co/D7vB0k1RgV
