A Tweet Michael Cohen Posted About Hillary Clinton In 2015 Just Came Back to Haunt Him
President Donald Trump's embattled former attorney and "fixer," Michael Cohen reached a plea deal this afternoon with federal prosecutors of the Southern District of New York.
Cohen had been under investigation for bank and tax fraud amounting to over 20 million dollars and, additionally, for his efforts to buy the silence of women who reportedly had affairs with Mr. Trump.
An Ex U.S. Attorney Went on Fox News to Explain Why Trump and Giuliani Often Discredit Robert Mueller, And He's Spot On
Former United States Attorney Michael Moore took to Fox News on Monday, criticizing Former New York City Mayor and current head lawyer of President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani.
Moore’s rebuke comes as Trump’s and his counsel escalate attacks on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible conspiracy between the Russian government and the Trump presidential campaign.
Another attempt to dismantle Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible conspiracy between the Russian government and the campaign of President Donald Trump has been thwarted--this time by a Trump-appointed judge. Federal District Judge Dabney Friedrich ruled against Concord Management and Consulting, a Russian company under scrutiny for alleged efforts to sway American votes through deceptive social media platforms.
Concord Management and Consulting attempted to argue that the Special Counsel's case did not have standing in court because Robert Mueller was not appointed by the president or confirmed by a legislative body.
The office of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III has filed a superseding indictment against Paul Manafort, the embattled former chairman of President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.
Last year, the United States Justice Department, headed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions decided to conduct a more thorough investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and any ties to the campaign of President Donald Trump. This move came after investigations led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and in the House and Senate and the high profile firing of the FBI director, James Comey, by the president.
Trump administration member AG Sessions recused himself from the investigation, turning it over to another Trump appointee, Rod Rosenstein. Rosenstein decided to appoint former FBI director Robert Mueller as Special Counsel exactly one year ago today. All three men are lifelong Republicans.

A Journalist Just Compared the Russia Probe to Previous Investigations, and Trump Should Be Very Concerned
This morning, President Donald Trump Tweeted, "Is this Phony Witch Hunt going to go on even longer so it wrongfully impacts the Mid-Term Elections, which is what the Democrats always intended? Republicans better get tough and smart before it is too late!"
Trump consistently refers to Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, a probe led by Trump's own United States Attorney General office's duly appointed Republican Special Counsel, as a "witch hunt." He also takes issue with the length of time of the investigation.
