Russia. Russia. Russia. While the news that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen decided to plead guilty on multiple counts and extend an offer of cooperation to the special counsel’s office might have led to expectations that Robert Mueller would be getting an earful on Trump’s affairs and his shady business deals, ABC News reports the focus of a series of conversations between Cohen and the special counsel’s office has been … farther east.
The special counsel’s questioning of Cohen, one of the president’s closest associates over the past decade, has focused primarily on all aspects of Trump's dealings with Russia -- including financial and business dealings and the investigation into alleged collusion with Russia by the Trump campaign and its surrogates to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
