LEGAL/MICHAEL COHEN/ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former attorney, has spoken with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team several times over the past month, ABC News reported Thursday [9-20-18]. Cohen’s attorney Lanny Davis appeared to confirm the ABC report later Thursday when he praised his client for speaking to Mueller…The report said the special counsel team has focused primarily on Trump’s dealings with Russia. Investigators were also interested in whether Trump or Trump’s associates discussed the possibility of a pardon for Cohen. ABC said Cohen participated in the interviews without a guarantee of leniency for himself. Cohen is also cooperating with a probe from New York state into the Trump family charity and the Trump Organization, CNN has reported, and he and his attorney met with state tax department officials last week. The President’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani said that if anyone were to believe Cohen, ‘it’s only because they want to get President Trump so badly they have lost any sense of fairness or objectivity.'”
