Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's ex-personal lawyer, reached a plea deal Tuesday on campaign finance violations, bank fraud and tax evasion, according to a news report.
According to ABC, Cohen came to an agreement with federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York.
The reported deal comes after reports that federal investigators were looking into whether Cohen committed bank and tax fraud worth more than $20 million, according to a media report. The New York Times, citing anonymous sources, said authorities were focusing on loans obtained for taxi businesses owned by Cohen and his family.

It was probably not a particularly good idea to let Cohen twist in the wind. The man knows at least 20 years of Trump's financial dealings, including all of his dealings with Russia.

Trump just ordered a case of Xanax. Twitter just fired up the spare servers. Brace yourself people.
