Michael Cohen, the former Trump Personal Attorney, met Tuesday with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, over Trump Organization’s involvement in Hush-Money Payments made to Adult Film star Stormy Daniels.
About 90 minutes later, Cohen left with his Attorney, Lanny Davis, and said, “The meeting went very well.” He added that Prosecutors asked him Not to disclose the substance of what was discussed but, Cohen said, “It appears that I’ll probably be meeting with them again.” Cohen previously met with Manhattan Prosecutors 13 times over the course of their sweeping Investigation into the Trump Org. Their meeting on Tuesday is the First in more than a year.
The focus of the DA’s Investigation has returned to the $130,000 Payment made to Daniels, to Stop her from going Public about an Affair with Trump, just before the 2016 Election. Trump has denied the affair.
The District Attorney’s Office has also reached out to Keith Davidson, who represented Daniels in the Hush Money Deal in recent weeks, but he has Not been scheduled for an Interview.
Cohen was a Key Player in the Hush-Money scheme. He facilitated the Payments and was Reimbursed by the Trump Org. for advancing the Money to Daniels. Cohen pleaded Guilty to Nine Federal Charges, including Campaign Finance Violations, and was Sentenced to Three years in Prison.
Prosecutors are also looking into potential Insurance Fraud after New Material came to light, from the New York Attorney General’s Civil Investigation into the Accuracy of the Trump Organization’s Financial Statements.
“It’ll go as long as the facts and the law require,” Bragg said when asked how much longer the yearslong Investigation will continue. “But as I said today, we ended a very important chapter. So, a good part of the year was focused on this very, very consequential chapter and now we move on to the next chapter.”
