Jeremy Bash: Trump and Cohen Could Be Charged with Wire Fraud

‘There was a $35,000 a month payment paid by President Trump to Michael Cohen totaling about $475,000’

EXCERPT:

BASH: "Did he disclose the loan from Michael Cohen for $135,000? If he didn’t, and he failed to do that knowingly, that’s a felony, that’s a violation. Other people have been charged for failing to disclose adequately loans made to them by others, so we have to look carefully at that. There’s already an existing lawsuit on that. Finally, my big question, is there bank or wire fraud implicated here? Because if the President and Michael Cohen conspired in advance to move money to hide this from regulators or to deceive the bank on the true nature of the loan that Michael Cohen was taking to front this cash, that’s also a felony of bank and wire fraud, and all you have to do is look at the way that Mueller laid this out in a Manafort indictment to know that his prosecutors, his investigators are very good at following the money.”
