President Trump distancing himself from the federal crimes of two former members of his inner circle… after the partial verdict against Paul Manafort Tuesday and the guilty plea of his former lawyer Michael Cohen.
FOX’s Jon Decker has more from the White House:
The President weighing in on Twitter on Manafort’s guilty verdicts, writing:
I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. “Justice” took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to “break” – make up stories in order to get a “deal.” Such respect for a brave man!

But the President not feeling any sympathy for his former private attorney, writing on Twitter:
If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen!
