National News: President's Personal Attorney Accuses Him of Illegal Activities
By Nate Feldman
Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, testified before Congress today about illegal activities he claims the President did. Among the list of criminal actions included getting Mr. Cohen to provide money to women who claimed to have had an affair with Mr. Trump and asking him to lie to Congress about business deals the Trump family had with Russia. Cohen showed copies of the checks Mr. Trump had given him to pay off the women.
Mr. Cohen himself is set to serve a prison sentence for lying to Congress and illegal financial activities. He acknowledged that one of his reasons for speaking before Congress today was to reduce his own prison sentence.
While opponents of the President continue to look into crimes Mr. Trump may have committed both before and during his presidency, his allies in Congress sought to portray Mr. Cohen as a disgruntled ex-employee who cannot be relied on based on his own criminal conviction.
