After looking for support from his old boss?
He finds himself cut off….
He can’t off the Feds much in his records….They have them all…
But Cohen CAN offer something more important….
Access to Trump’s secrets……
The question hanging in the air right now?
Is Cohen ALREADY talking Mueller’s or the US Attorney in New York?
Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s longtime personal attorney, is prepared to tell special counsel Robert Mueller that then-candidate Trump knew about and approved the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between his campaign officials and Russians who were expected to offer dirt on Hillary Clinton, according to a CNN report on Thursday.
Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and the Trump campaign chairman at the time, Paul Manafort, attended the meeting, billed as an opportunity for a Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, to share damaging information about the Democratic nominee for president. Trump Jr. has since claimed that only Russian adoption policy was discussed.
According to CNN’s report, Cohen claims that he and several others were present when the president’s son informed Trump of the planned meeting, and that Trump signed off on going ahead with the meeting.
Cohen’s legal team declined to comment, including on whether Cohen has spoken with Mueller…..
Note….
Cohen ‘s claim, if collaborated, about the much discussed Trump Tower meeting COULD put several people , including Donald Trump in serious legal trouble criminally……
This in the lede story this morning folks….

President Trump is denying that he knew about a controversial summer 2016 meeting in Trump Tower between his son and Russians promising dirt on Hillary Clinton, a claim that Trump’s ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, is reportedly making.
Trump indirectly slammed Cohen on Twitter Friday, suggesting that he is “trying to make up stories in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam.”
