1. Cohen’s guilty plea, Manafort’s guilty verdict

President Donald Trump’s longtime lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty Tuesday to eight felony charges and admitted he made illegal campaign contributions "in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office."

While Cohen surrendered to the FBI, Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was found guilty on eight counts of financial crimes. The federal judge declared a mistrial on the other 10 counts of the special counsel’s 18-count indictment after jurors could not reach a consensus.
