1. Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, admitted that he had continued negotiating a deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow well into the 2016 presidential campaign, far later than previously known.

The revelation came at a surprise federal court hearing in Manhattan, in which he pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about the timing of the negotiations and the president’s involvement.

Lawyers for Mr. Trump said the president knew about the deal and discussed it with Mr. Cohen, above, before it fell apart.
