May 2018

I saw on CNN that Mueller is interviewing that Russian oligarch about payments to Cohen. So it looks like Avenatti may have gotten that info that way, in some way. He cites specific amounts.

If this is true...this is YUGE. One of the inner circle, Trump's personal atty & working for the Trump Org., taking money from a Russian oligarch, & possibly using some of that money to "take care" of a problem that might hurt Trump's election (the porn star). Wow.

If I were Cohen, I'd be afraid. Very afraid.
