Trump to be interviewed by Michael Cohen
Key Points:

- Cohen pleaded guilty to federal charges including tax evasion and campaign finance violations related to hush money payments to women alleging affairs with Trump.
- Under oath, Cohen expressed regret for his actions, admitting he violated his moral compass to maintain loyalty to Trump.
- During Cohen's trial, he was cross-examined by Todd Blanche, Trump's former defense lawyer who recently became attorney general, and was publicly criticized by Trump on social media.
