Cohen testified, quote, what i was doing was at the direction of and benefit of mr. Trump and later said, quote, everything required mr. Trumps sign off.

Theres so many Homeless People with Mental Health issues, and i think that the system could do a lot better than this.

Know, hopefully more tips can come in and he can be safely found. Alice, thank you for that. Alameda county Sheriff Deputies are hoping someone has seen a missing at risk woman.
