Paul Manafort’s trial in D.C

In April, Trump denied he knew anything about the Daniels payment.

There is no indication their cooperation extends beyond the scope of the Cohen probe. He told Fox News in an interview aired Thursday that he knew about payments “later on”.

Mr Weisselberg is the latest to get immunity.

“I don’t think we should be talking about it and embracing it before we’ve seen the full body of evidence”, Schiff, a former prosecutor, said of impeaching the president.

Sam Nunberg, a former Trump campaign adviser who worked with Cohen, said the President’s erstwhile consigliere is simply not credible. On Sunday, The Washington Post reported that Davis was “no longer certain about claims he made to reporters on background and on the record in recent weeks about what Cohen knows about Trump’s awareness of the Russian efforts”.

Cohen pleaded guilty to tax and campaign finance violations Tuesday.

“No, he does not”, Davis said.

House Judiciary Democrats used the phrase in a letter to Chairman Bob Goodlatte on Friday urging him to hold meetings with Justice Department officials and the committee’s top Democrat, Jerrold Nadler of NY, on the investigation into Cohen.

Allen Weisselberg was handling the books when Fred Trump ran the company in the early 1970s. He admitted he violated campaign finance law by helping provide Trump’s campaign excessive and illegal contributions.

Weisselberg, an intensely private, loyal numbers-man for Trump, was mentioned on an audiotape that Cohen’s lawyer released in July of Cohen talking with Trump about paying for Playboy model Karen McDougal’s silence in the months leading up to the election.

Asked by WaPo on Saturday whether he was certain that Trump knew about computer hacks before they occurred, Davis told the newspaper: “I am not sure”.

TRUMP: “A large number of counts, ten, could not even be decided in the Paul Manafort case”.

Trump’s legal team cites the Constitution as a why Trump won’t meet with Mueller, who is investigating the Russian interference in the 2016 election, as well as potential collusion with the campaign and obstruction of justice. Trump has routinely denounced the probe as a “witch hunt”.

Stone’s appeal for help comes less than a week after two high-profile Trump allies were found guilty of federal felonies. It was one holdout who caused the jury to hang on 10 of the 18 counts after almost four days of deliberations, she said. Federal prosecutors have the option to try him again on those charges or accept what they’ve got.

Manafort, 69, faces seven counts in the upcoming D.C. case, including charges of conspiracy against the United States, money laundering, tax fraud, failure to file reports of foreign financial assets, serving as an unregistered foreign agent, making false and misleading statements under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and witness tampering.
