Why The FBI's Raid On Michael Cohen Is Bad News For Paul Manafort

Description

Special counsel Robert Mueller referred the Manhattan US attorney's office to information related to President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. That, may pose a setback for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. According to Business Insider, Manafort's defense strategy in the Russia probe argues Mueller overstepped his mandate by charging him with crimes unrelated to Russian collusion. However, experts say Mueller can turn and point to the Cohen referral as proof that when he comes across information outside his purview, he hands it off to the Department of Justice instead of pursuing it himself. The majority of the criminal charges against Manafort and his longtime associate Rick Gates relate to their lobbying work for the Ukrainian government and former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych. Gates pleaded guilty to two counts in February and became a cooperating witness in the Russia investigation. Manafort maintains that he is innocent and has mounted an aggressive defense against Mueller.

  • Hundreds Attend Opening of Breaking Bad Inspired Restaurant 'Los Pollos Hermanos'

    If you've seen the hit TV show Breaking Bad, you might know that the fictional restaurant Los Pollos Hermanos is fast food chicken joint where crystal meth cookers played by Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul launder money. Hundreds of people lined up to get the Breaking Bad experience when Los Pollos Hermanos opened up in New York City for real.
