LEGAL/MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP BUSINESS/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Federal prosecutors have granted immunity to Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg in a probe involving President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday [8-24-18]. Weisselberg was called to testify before a federal grand jury earlier this year, the Journal said. Cohen, who arranged hush-money payments to at least two women who alleged affairs with Trump before the 2016 U.S. presidential election, pleaded guilty on Tuesday [8-21-18] to campaign finance violations and other charges. He said Trump directed him to arrange the payments. Two executives for American Media Inc, which publishes the National Enquirer, a tabloid reportedly involved in making the payments, have also been granted immunity in the investigation, according to U.S. media reports.”
