Trump erweist sich als deutlich resilienter als selbst ich es vermutet hatte aber hier braut sich etwas Gewaltiges zusammen. Wie so oft wird es ihm vermutlich nichts anhaben können und die Presse stellt die Sache natürlich maximal dramatisch dar. Aber die Geschichte hat definitiv Potenzial.

Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen pleads guilty, admits to making illegal payments at direction of candidate to influence election

Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer and fixer for President Donald Trump, agreed to plead guilty on Tuesday to eight counts related to tax fraud, excessive campaign contributions, making false statements to a financial institution, and unlawful corporate contributions at a court hearing in New York on Tuesday.

Two of those counts appear to relate to Trump directly. Cohen admitted on Tuesday to making payments to two women at the direction of an unidentified candidate for political office. Those payments, Cohen said, were made to influence the outcome of the election.
