Cohen Says Trump Under Investigation For Other Illegal Acts, Wrongdoing

WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 28th February, 2019) US President Donald Trump is under investigation by the US District Court of the Southern District of New York for other illegal acts that have not come to light, Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen said on Wednesday during a testimony before the House Oversight and Reform Committee.

"Yes, and again, those are part of the investigation that is currently being looked at by the Southern District of New York," Cohen said when asked by Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi whether there are any other wrongdoings or illegal acts he is aware of regarding Trump that have not been discussed.

Cohen has been sentenced to three years in prison for financial crimes that include tax fraud and hush-money payments to two women Trump allegedly had affairs with in violation of campaign finance laws, as well as lying to Congress.

The US president's former lawyer remains out of prison to continue cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe into alleged Trump-Moscow collusion during the 2016 US presidential election, which has been denied both by both parties on numerous occasions.

Cohen said during his testimony that he has been interviewed by the special counsel's office seven times.
