Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, met last month with federal prosecutors in Manhattan, offering information about possible irregularities within the president’s family business and about a donor to the inaugural committee. nyti.ms/2GEXqNG?smid=n…
“The prosecutors recently sought to interview Trump Organization executives, according to a person briefed on the request, which was previously reported by CNN. The nature of the questions they were seeking to ask was not known.”
To the extent that Cohen brings prosecutors closer to Allen Weisselberg and Jason Greenblatt, it gets even more interesting:

Weisselberg knows things:
bloomberg.com/view/articles/…
And Weisselberg first joined the Trump Org as an accountant in the 1970s, at the same time Donald did, working for Fred. He handled all of the finances by the ‘90s, handled POTUS’s personal income tax returns, etc:

1/ House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff says that Felix Sater will appear before his committee on March 14 to discuss Trump Tower Moscow, among other things. Felix knows things about the Trumps’ intersection with murky Euro $: bloomberg.com/view/articles/…
2/ A lot of the funds that came into the Trump SoHo, Bayrock and the Truml Organization came via Sater, a career criminal with deep ties to organized crime: bloomberg.com/view/articles/…
3/ Felix Sater was part of a financial boiler room operation that, among other things, scammed Holocaust victims. He went to prison for slashing a man’s face apart with a broken Margarita glass. And he was President Trump’s business partner: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

“Trump knew of and directed the Trump Moscow negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it. He lied about it because he never expected to win the election. He also lied about it because he stood to make hundreds of millions of dollars." bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
“I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is. He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat.”
"In conversations we had during the campaign, at the same time I was actively negotiating in Russia for him, he would look me in the eye and tell me there’s no business in Russia and then go out and lie to the American people by saying the same thing."
