With the appearance of Lynne Patton during the Michael Cohen hearing, questions have been raised about why Cohen flipped to turn on President Trump.

This is also the reason why Cohen’s longtime taxi medallion partner, Evgeny "Gene" Freidman, was granted immunity. (read more)
Cohen went from saying he’d be willing to "take a bullet" for Trump to being willing to "take a bullet" for his wife. |
