WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 22nd August, 2018) US President Donald Trump said in a statement on Wednesday that anyone looking for an attorney should not hire his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
"If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you dont retain the services of Michael Cohen!" Trump said in a Twitter message.
On Tuesday Cohen pleaded guilty to five counts of tax evasion, one count of making a false statement to a bank and two campaign finance violations.
As part of his plea deal, Cohen admitted to making payments to two women "in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for Federal office," court documents showed.
Cohen's lawyer Lanny Davis has suggested that his client has information that could help with Special Counsel Mueller's investigation into the 2016 election, possible Russian influence and collusion between Moscow and the Trump Campaign.
Both the Kremlin and Trump have denied all allegations of collusion, and Moscow has called the accusations of interference in the election "absurd."
