President Trump affirms no involvement in criminal acts of former trusted lawyer

US President Donald Trump has insisted that he had no involvement in the criminal conduct of his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who was sentenced to three years in prison for violating campaign finance laws in the 2016 presidential election.

On Twitter on December 13, US President Donald Trump once again affirmed that he never directed Mr. Cohen to violate the law. The leader also emphasized that Mr. Cohen "is a lawyer and he knows the law very well" and that "a lawyer will be held very responsible if he makes a mistake".

On December 18, a court is also expected to issue a verdict against former Trump adviser Michael Flynn, who is charged with lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in connection with an investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.

Attention is now focused on how this ruling will affect the investigation related to President Trump./.
