President Trump spoke out after his former lawyer made a surprise guilty plea in court this morning:

In reference to Michael Cohen’s guilty plea, Pres Trump said he decided against the Russia project, but there would have been nothing wrong if he did pursue it while running for president.

He called Cohen “a weak person” and said he was “lying to get a reduced sentence.”

“It was an option that I decided not to do,” says Pres Trump of the project to build a building in Russia.

Says he decided against it, because he was running for president. “There would have been nothing wrong if I did do it,” says Trump. “I wasn’t trying to hide anything.”

PRESIDENT TRUMP ALSO TWEETED OUT THIS MORNING ABOUT THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION:

Did you ever see an investigation more in search of a crime? At the same time Mueller and the Angry Democrats aren’t even looking at the atrocious, and perhaps subversive, crimes that were committed by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. A total disgrace!

When will this illegal Joseph McCarthy style Witch Hunt, one that has shattered so many innocent lives, ever end-or will it just go on forever? After wasting more than $40,000,000 (is that possible?), it has proven only one thing-there was NO Collusion with Russia. So Ridiculous!

Michael Cohen plead guilty this morning and asked to stand to speak to the judge. He spoke for 3 minutes.

Cohen said by 2016 he no longer worked for Trump but now says he continued communication with him into the summer:

1. Moscow Project deal lasted until into Summer 2016

2. Cohen discussed deal more than three times with candidate Trump

3. Cohen briefed Trump family members

4. Cohen took steps in contemplation of Trump’s travel to Russia
