Cohen Pleads Guilty to Campaign Finance Fraud
NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on a financial fraud probe involving Donald Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen (all times local):
11:15 p.m.
An attorney for President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer and "fixer" says his client has knowledge on certain subjects that "should be of interest" to special counsel Robert Mueller (MUHL'-ur), who's investigating possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Lawyer Lanny Davis told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Tuesday night that Michael Cohen is "more than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows."
Davis' comments came after Cohen pleaded guilty earlier Tuesday to campaign-finance violations and other charges, saying Trump directed him to arrange the payment of hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels and a former Playboy model to fend off damage to his White House bid.
Davis told Maddow that from this point on, the public is going to see a "liberated Michael Cohen speaking truth to power."

6:25 p.m.
President Donald Trump's personal lawyer says criminal charges against Michael Cohen don't include the assertion he made in court that Trump directed him to make hush-money payments to influence the election.
Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Tuesday that there's "no allegation of any wrongdoing against the President in the government's charges."
Giuliani's comments came after Cohen pleaded guilty to charges including campaign finance fraud.
The charging documents say Cohen made the payments "at the request and suggestion of one or more members of the campaign."
Cohen told a judge that he and Trump arranged to pay Daniels $130,000 and $150,000 to former Playboy model Karen McDougal as the 2016 election loomed.
Giuliani echoed Deputy U.S. Attorney Robert Khuzami's assessment that the charges against Cohen "reflect a pattern of lies and dishonesty over a significant period of time."

Michael Cohen's lawyer is suggesting President Donald Trump should face criminal charges for directing his longtime "fixer" to make hush-money payments to two women to influence the election.
Lawyer Lanny Davis tweeted on Tuesday: "If those payments were a crime for Michael Cohen, then why wouldn't they be a crime for Donald Trump?"
Davis' comments came after Cohen pleaded guilty to charges including campaign finance fraud.
Cohen told a judge that he paid Daniels $130,000 and $150,000 to former Playboy model Karen McDougal as the 2016 election loomed.
Both women claimed they had affairs with Trump, which he denies.
Davis tweeted that by pleading guilty Cohen was "fulfilling his promise" to "put his family and country first and tell the truth about Donald Trump."

6 p.m.
Stormy Daniels' lawyer says Michael Cohen's guilty plea to charges involving hush-money payments should open the door to questioning President Donald Trump about "what he knew, when he knew it, and what he did about it."
Cohen said in court on Tuesday that he coordinated with Trump to pay Daniels $130,000 and $150,000 to former Playboy model Karen McDougal to influence the election. Both women claimed they had affairs with Trump, which he denies.
Daniels said she and lawyer Michael Avenatti felt vindicated and look forward to apologies "from the people who claimed we were wrong."
Avenatti is flirting with running for president in 2020 as a Democrat. He said the likelihood of that happening will dwindle if Trump resigns or decides not to run for re-election.

Donald Trump's former personal lawyer and "fixer" Michael Cohen says that he made hush money payments to two women "at the direction" of Trump.
Deputy U.S. Attorney Robert Khuzami told reporters on Tuesday after Cohen's guilty plea that he submitted invoices to the candidate's company to obtain reimbursement for the unlawful campaign contributions.
Cohen pleaded guilty to charges including campaign finance fraud stemming from hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels and ex-Playboy model Karen McDougal.
The 51-year-old Cohen said in federal court in New York on Tuesday that he made the payments in coordination with Trump, who wasn't named, to influence the election. Both women claimed Trump had affairs with them, which he denies.
The other charges Cohen pleaded guilty to involve bank fraud and income tax evasion.
