NEW YORK | Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s notorious loyal “fixer,” reached a plea agreement on Tuesday and will plead guilty to charges including campaign finance fraud, bank fraud and tax evasion, according to two people familiar with the story
The people spoke to reporters on the condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly about the case.
They said the campaign finance charges involve payments to two women. However, they added that it was not clear if the deal requires Cohen’s cooperation with the Russia probe or other investigations.
Cohen was Trump’s longtime personal lawyer until just a few weeks ago. Cohen was spotted entering his lawyers’ offices early Tuesday.
Prosecutors have been investigating Cohen for potential fraud related to his businesses for months. The FBI raided his hotel room, home and office on April 9, seizing more than four million items.
