Late-Breaking

Late last night, CNN released a 2016 taped recording between Donald Trump and his former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, where the two discussed paying hush money to a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with Trump (details here).

The Washington Post then published an excellent article (link here) about important legal issues raised by revelations from the tape, including possibly serious criminal acts.

What's great about release of the tape is that Trump can't lie his way out of this. He can't claim the whole store is fake news. And it's also important to remember, this is just one of at least twelve different Cohen recordings that federal prosecutors now have in their possession.

What is on those other tapes? Hopefully we'll learn sooner rather than later. Stay tuned.
