“Prosecutors with the New York district attorney’s office interviewed Donald Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen in recent weeks as part of their investigation of the Trump Organization’s handling of hush money payments,” CNN reports.

“Officials from the district attorney’s office, led by Cyrus Vance, interviewed Cohen at the federal prison in Otisville, New York, where he is serving a three-year sentence after pleading guilty to multiple crimes including campaign finance violations tied to payments to two women alleging affairs with Trump a decade ago.”

“Michael Cohen exchanged more than 230 phone calls and 950 text messages over eight months with the chief executive of a U.S. money-management firm with ties to a Russian oligarch,” Bloomberg reports.

“The communications between Cohen and Andrew Intrater, the chief executive officer of Columbus Nova LCC, began on the day of Donald Trump’s election, according to a U.S. search-and-seizure warrant filed in Washington on Aug. 7, 2017, and unsealed on Wednesday.”

Michael Cohen spoke to reporters briefly outside his Manhattan apartment before heading to report to a federal prison facility in upstate New York — suggesting once again that he had more secrets to spill, the Washington Post reports.

Said Cohen: “I hope that when I rejoin my family and friends that the country will be in a place without xenophobia, injustice, and lies at the helm of our country. There still remains much to be told, and I look forward to the day that I can share the truth.”

As Michael Cohen “prepares to head to prison in two weeks, dozens of previously unreported emails, text messages and other confidential documents reviewed by the New York Times suggest that his falling out with Mr. Trump may have been avoidable.”

“Missed cues, clashing egos, veiled threats and unaddressed money worries all contributed to Mr. Cohen’s halting decision to turn on a man he had long idolized and even once vowed to take a bullet for… Mr. Cohen’s anxiety, on display in the documents, played a role in the undoing of his relationship with Mr. Trump… But also looming large were Mr. Giuliani’s and Mr. Trump’s failures to understand the threat that Mr. Cohen posed, and their inability — or unwillingness — to put his financial and emotional insecurities to rest.”

New York Times: Why it matters that Trump and Cohen had a falling out.

Michael Cohen pledged on Twitter that he will speak about possible redactions in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

Said Cohen: “Soon I will be ready to address the American people again. Tell it all…and tell it myself!”

“Trump’s longtime fixer and personal attorney told lawmakers earlier this month that Trump submitted a false insurance claim regarding a fresco on the ceiling of Melania Trump’s bathroom,” the Washington Post reports.

“Lawmakers are looking into Cohen’s claim, which would be the first example of insurance fraud that has surfaced following his public testimony that Trump often exaggerated his personal wealth in financial documents provided to banks and insurers.”

Michael Cohen is suing the Trump Organization for “failure to meet its indemnification obligations” and not paying his legal fees, Axios reports.

An attorney for Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, raised the possibility of a pardon with attorneys for the president after federal agents raided Cohen’s properties in April, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The attorney hinted that Cohen would consider cooperating with prosecutors if he did not receive a pardon. Trump’s attorneys rejected the idea, but Rudy Giuliani left the door open to a pardon down the road.
