Lawyer: Cohen has info for special counsel

NEW YORK (AP) – An attorney for President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer and “fixer” says his client has knowledge on certain subjects that “should be of interest” to special counsel Robert Mueller, who’s investigating possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Lawyer Lanny Davis told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Tuesday night that Michael Cohen is “more than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows.”

Davis’ comments came after Cohen pleaded guilty earlier Tuesday to campaign-finance violations and other charges, saying Trump directed him to arrange the payment of hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels and a former Playboy model to fend off damage to his White House bid.

Davis told Maddow that from this point on, the public is going to see a “liberated Michael Cohen speaking truth to power.”
