We learned Tuesday that not only has Michael Cohen implicated President Trump in campaign finance violations, but effectively, so, too, has the parent company for the National Enquirer, American Media Inc. So that’s two parties who were involved in these arrangements — the McDougal one and the Stormy Daniels payment — that have implicated Trump or his campaign in a crime. But it also suggests dominoes that have yet to fall, and among those dominoes is one potentially huge one: Allen Weisselberg. When Cohen released that tape of him and Trump talking about buying back the rights to McDougal’s story from AMI, Cohen mentioned how he had consulted with Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, about how to make it happen. We don’t know how much Weisselberg truly knows about all of this or whether Cohen really went into much detail with him.
