TRUMP'S 'FIXER' JOINS RUSSIA 'WITCH HUNT': Michael Cohen, President Trump's former longtime lawyer, has met with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigators several times, including within the last month, the Wall Street Journal reports ... Mueller's investigators asked Cohen about Trump's business dealings with Russia, sources told the Journal. Last month, Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance law violations in arranging hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal “at the direction” of then-candidate Trump. Both Daniels and McDougal say they had extramarital affairs with Trump, a claim the president denies. Trump has said he would consider a Mueller probe of his business dealings a red line, telling the New York Times last year: “I think that’s a violation.”
The Wall Street Journal's report comes amid new optimism over the prospect of a potential Mueller interview with Trump. President Trump's legal counsel is "pleased with the progress being made" in talks with Mueller about a possible interview, a source familiar with the process told FOX News on Thursday. Any interview of Trump is unlikely to take place before the November midterm elections, the source said.
