DeLauro Statement on Michael Cohen Guilty Plea

August 21, 2018

WASHINGTON, DC - Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) today released the following statement after Michael Cohen plead guilty to, among other things, violating campaign finance law "in coordination with and at the direction of" President Donald Trump.

"Today, President Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, plead guilty to paying hush money to two women whom Trump had affairs with in order to influence the 2016 presidential election. His actions are appalling, and justice will be served given his admission. More than that, the President's cover-up could very well have legal implications. The American people deserve answers regarding the President's role in these corrupt and criminal actions."
