Federal prosecutors who are investigating President Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen for bank and tax fraud are considering filing charges by the end of the month.
The New York Times revealed Sunday that investigators “have have zeroed in on well over $20 million in loans obtained by taxi businesses that he and his family own,” citing people familiar with the probe.
Prosecutors also are investigating whether Cohen violated campaign finance laws when he arranged hush money for women who said they had affairs with Trump.
The FBI raided Cohen’s office, hotel room and home in April, provoking outrage from the president, who called the searches an “attack on the country.”
Trump and his lawyers fear Cohen could strike a plea deal with prosecutors in exchange for information on Trump.
