CONGRESS/MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP BUSINESS/TRUMP PEOPLE: “As Michael Cohen shed new light on the inner workings of President Donald Trump’s family business Wednesday [2-27-19], he rattled off a list of Trump Organization officials who are now likely to face congressional scrutiny of their own. Under questioning by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer pointed to three little-known Trump Organization officials who could have knowledge of potential crimes. Cohen replied ‘yes’ when Ocasio-Cortez asked him if he had knowledge of Trump providing ‘inflated assets to an insurance company.’ Asked who else knows Trump did this, Cohen said: ‘Allen Weisselberg, Ron Lieberman and Matthew Calamari’…At least one of those officials, Weisselberg, has already been swept up in an investigation led by the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer, was granted immunity by federal prosecutors for providing information on Cohen’s role in hush money payments to women alleging affairs with Trump. The President has denied the affairs.”
