Michael Cohen has long been the personal lawyer of US President Donald Trump. Not so long ago, he entered into a voluntary plea agreement with the country's federal prosecutor’s office. Cohen confessed to a number of crimes, including the payment of compensation for silence to two “girls” of his client during the election campaign, which makes it possible to raise the issue of impeachment to the president again.
Deal with conscience
In April of this year, FBI agents, according to the prosecution, searched the office and hotel room where the lawyer lived. All this happened as part of an investigation into the possible cooperation of the Trump election headquarters with the Russian authorities.
In court, Michael Cohen made a statement of agreement with the charges of 8 points, including bank fraud, the provision of deliberately incorrect information to financial departments and tax evasion. He actually betrayed his client, admitting that he had made large cash payments to adult actress Stormy Daniels and Playboy magazine model Karen McDougal during a presidential election campaign for being silent about love affairs. Although Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen didn’t give specific names to the women and his client, saying that he did it in the interests of the “nameless candidate”, the amounts and dates coincide with the data sent to the two friends.
