Michael Cohen has hired a new attorney: Lanny Davis, who served as a legal adviser in Bill Clinton's White House.
Cohen is President Trump's former personal lawyer, under investigation by the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan with potential charges including wire and bank fraud. On Monday, ABC News broadcast an interview with Cohen in which he said he'd "put family and country" ahead of Trump, believed by many to be a major hint that he is getting ready to work with Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
