Here in Judge Pauley’s packed courtroom where Michael Cohen is expected to enter a guilty plea. Our story so far: google.com/amp/www.nydail…
Among the attendees: Deputy US Attorney Robert Khuzami, SDNY Corruption Chief Russell Capone. AUSA Tom McKay looks like he’ll be speaking during the hearing.
FBI Assistant Director in charge William Sweeney also in the room. Michael Cohen and his defense team yet to arrive.
Michael Cohen enters the courtroom sporting a gold tie and dark suit. He came in through a side entrance often used for people who are in custody. (He’s not). Cohen attorney Guy Petrillo here.
Cohen shaking his head as he signs some papers. Taking deep breaths and winking at a few reporters.
Pauley is on the bench. AUSA Andrea Griswold confirms we’re here for a waiver of indictment. An information will be filed and Cohen will enter guilty plea.
Plea agreement is regarding 8 counts.
Cohen says he had a glass of Glenlivet 12 on the rocks last night. He’s sober now tho and says he knows what’s he’s doing.
Michael Cohen is four days from his 52nd birthday. Ouch
Counts 1-5. Tax evasion 2012-2016
Count 6 false statement to financial institution Feb 2015-April 2016
Count 7 willful cause of unlawful corporate contribution June 2016-Oct. 2016
Count 8 excessive campaign contribution on Oct. 27, 2016
Max sentence he faces on all counts is 65 years. As judge details the penalties Cohen shakes his head some more.
Cohen admits to working “at direction of the candidate” Trump and national enquirer to silence Karen McDougal. He also admits to Stormy Daniels payment that he made “with and at direction of the same candidate.”
Cohen will be walking out today on $500,000 bond.
And no mention of a cooperation agreement so far.
Sentencing set for December 12. It’s over.
"The fixer is in!"

THREAD: Attorneys say they can't believe AG Tish James signed off on a proposed settlement for Harvey Weinstein victims, which included terms she personally assured them would never happen.

A federal judge nixed the deal, calling it "obnoxious."
nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-we…
The proposed settlement was covered by insurers. Harvey and Bob Weinstein didn't pay anything -- they actually received millions for legal costs. Other money would have gone to former Weinstein Co. board member James Dolan and actors like Bradley Cooper and Meryl Streep.
“I felt betrayed by the Attorney General’s acceptance of the settlement, which was so unfair for the victims and did not hold Weinstein responsible for his crimes on any level,” said Kaja Sokola, who sued Weinstein for allegedly assaulting her when she was 16.

We just got our first look at Ghislaine Maxwell over a video feed from MDC Brooklyn. She's sporting a brown jail uniform and appeared (unsurprisingly) anxious ahead of a bail hearing set to start at 1 p.m.
Maxwell hearing highlighting just how disruptive COVID has been to the courts. Sound isn't great. Maxwell's confirmation she can hear the proceeding is choppy, and Judge Nathan had to call the case herself because her deputy seems to have fallen off the call.
Judge Nathan notes the case has "garnered significant public interest." A call-in line for the public reached capacity with 500 listeners. They've expanded capacity to 1,000 listeners.

Awaiting a verdict in the NYPD bribery trial of Jeremy Reichberg and ex Deputy Inspector Jimmy Grant.
Surprise split verdict. Reichberg found guilty of 5 out of 6 counts. Grant found NOT GUILTY on all counts.
One juror said she was “absolutely” stunned the government brought charges against Grant. “It looked like they were rushing,” she said of the case against the Deputy Inspector.

More trouble on the mayor's security detail. A black detective has sued for discrimination, charging that he was given demeaning duties like standing guard outside Gracie in freezing weather. nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-me…
Meanwhile the second-in-command of the unit has been transferred out amid an Internal Affairs probe. We reported he was involved in a drunken fight at Gracie. By @NYDN_GRayman nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-me…
The city is arguing that some of the examples of discrimination within de Blasio's Executive Protection Unit are just petty workplace disputes. Calling a Russian cop "too intimidating" isn't discriminatory, they say. nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-me…

Michael Cohen's real estate portfolio has gotten a good deal of scrutiny. But his impact on rent stabilized tenants has been mostly overlooked. Here's what happened at three of his buildings. @housingrightsNY nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-me…
At 172 Rivington in the LES nine construction permits were filed between 2011 and 2014 claiming no rent stabilized tenants lived there. In reality, 20 lived there. The number declined to 11 by the time Cohen sold for a $7.9 million profit
At 235 E. 27th St. four construction applications between 2012 and 2014 declared no rent-stabilized tenants were in the building. There were eight. By the time Cohen sold for a $3.5 million profit three rent stabilized tenants had left.
