The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.WASHINGTON — Two relatively unknown figures could soon emerge as key players in the congressional investigations into President Donald Trump.
According to requests from the committee sent to each of the lawyers, as well as the White House, the two “appeared to provide false information” to federal officials about payments to Cohen to keep the alleged Trump affair from becoming public. But Democrats say the lawyers may have good reason to avoid the newly empowered Democratic House majority.
Cohen has pleaded guilty to federal campaign finance regulations connected to his payment of $130,000 to Daniels to keep her from making public her claims of an affair with Trump just days ahead of the November 2016 election. Trump has denied Daniels’ claim.
