A National Enquirer cover story targeting Michael Cohen could be a strong sign President Trump is upset with his personal lawyer and turning against the man known for years as his “fixer,” CNN reports.

“According to the source, Enquirer publisher David Pecker, who is a longtime friend of Trump’s, would not have allowed the publication of the story — which featured a headline including the phrase ‘Trump’s Fixer’s Secrets & Lies’ — without the President’s blessing.”

When asked whether he thought a message was being sent by the story’s publication, Cohen told CNN: “What do you think.”

Special counsel Robert Mueller “has at least four dozen questions on an exhaustive array of subjects he wants to ask President Trump to learn more about his ties to Russia and determine whether he obstructed the inquiry itself,” according to a list of the questions obtained by the New York Times.

“The open-ended queries appear to be an attempt to penetrate the president’s thinking, to get at the motivation behind some of his most combative Twitter posts and to examine his relationships with his family and his closest advisers. They deal chiefly with the president’s high-profile firings of the FBI director and his first national security adviser, his treatment of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and a 2016 Trump Tower meeting between campaign officials and Russians offering dirt on Hillary Clinton.”

“But they also touch on the president’s businesses; any discussions with his longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, about a Moscow real estate deal; whether the president knew of any attempt by Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to set up a back channel to Russia during the transition; any contacts he had with Roger Stone, a longtime adviser who claimed to have inside information about Democratic email hackings; and what happened during Mr. Trump’s 2013 trip to Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant.”

A new Gallup poll finds President Trump’s job approval rating rose to its highest level in almost a year, 42%.

The gap between disapproval and approval of the president also narrowed to the smallest in nearly a year.

“The presidential news conference, a time-honored tradition going back generations, appears to be no longer,” the AP reports.

“More than a year has passed since President Trump held the only solo news conference of his administration — a rollicking, hastily arranged, 77-minute free-for-all during which he railed against the media, defended his fired national security adviser and insisted nobody who advised his campaign had had contacts with Russia.”
