A look at breaking news, politics and reports from around the world.
a source familiar tells us that weisselberg s interview happened weeks ago and that it focused on michael cohen and the hush money payments to two women who said they had affairs with trump, which trump denies. weisselberg is a major player, in the secret reporting from a few weeks ago, cohen says he consulted with weisselberg, and in the plea deal, he s referred to as executive one, who arranged $420,000 in payments to cohen to pay him back for the payment he made to stormy daniels. he wrote please pay from the truth, post to legal expenses when he forwarded the invoices to another executive. it s very clear that he s played a key role. athena how big a there et to president trump is it that prosecutors are talking to weisselberg? this is certainly a big deal. we re talking about a person who has been working for trump for decades. he is the chief finance officer
