NYT Scoop: Michael Cohen, Trump's ex-lawyer, is under investigation for bank fraud in excess of $20 million. Charges could come soon. nyti.ms/2PnEiEV
Criminal charges against Cohen would deal a significant blow to Trump. Cohen worked for the president’s company, the Trump Organization, for more than a decade. He was one of Trump’s most loyal and visible aides.
nyti.ms/2PnEiEV
If Cohen cooperates with prosecutors to avoid indictment, that would likely include a provision that he provide information to the special counsel, Mueller, who is investigating possible involvement by Trump's campaign in Russia’s election meddling.

New: Statement from A.G. Sulzberger, @nytimes publisher: "My main purpose for accepting the meeting was to raise concerns about the president’s deeply troubling anti-press rhetoric.”
@nytimes He added: "I told the president directly that I thought that his language was not just divisive but increasingly dangerous. I told him that although the phrase ‘fake news' is untrue and harmful, I am far more concerned about his labeling journalists 'the enemy of the people.’"

De Blasio corruption in the news 😁
nypost.com/2019/05/13/de-…
"...the mayor has heavily pressured folks doing business with the city to contribute to his various political schemes. And he did so despite repeated official warnings that he was acting improperly."
nypost.com/2019/04/18/de-…
“Mayor solicited contributions from any individual who had, or whose organization had, a matter pending or about to be pending before any executive branch of the City.”

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to announce decision on 2020 run this month

Oh, really? 😏

Maybe it's time for a thread 🧵😎

foxnews.com/politics/new-y…
[Nov 18, 2014] The administration of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has been rocked by scandal, resulting in the chief of staff to the mayor’s wife being placed on unpaid leave following a series of personal revelations. newsmax.com/us/nyc-noerdli…
[4/7/16] W subpoenas issued, investigations spreading & at least 1 fed grand jury at work, question isn’t whether de Blasio’s admin has a corruption prob..questions are how big is the prob, how many agencies tainted & how high up pecking order does it go?

New York Mayor De Blasio Says Washington MUST ‘Redistribute’ America’s Wealth lidblog.com/deblasio-redis… via @yidwithlid
As far as New York Mayor Bill de Blasio is concerned, the U.S. government MUST take money away from people he doesn’t like to start “actual redistribution” to those he thinks need it. The New Yorker was actually talking about wealth confiscation.
What could be more un-American? Well maybe being so anti-cop that your own police force turns their backs to you when you speak, but that would be de Blasio also.
