Guilty and Guilty

Hosted by and

This is quite the week for all the president’s lawyers. In New York, President Trump’s longtime personal attorney, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to eight felonies and dropped some major bombshells about Trump. And in Alexandria, Virginia, Trump’s former  campaign manager Paul Manafort was convicted of eight felonies. Josh Barro and Ken White process an incredibly newsy Tuesday and talk through what might happen next. Will there be more indictments? Will Cohen cooperate with Robert Mueller’s investigation? Will Manafort’s second trial proceed in Washington? And where does this leave us? Is this the beginning of the end for President Trump?
