On Wednesday, it was reported that Cohen met with the Manhattan prosecutor’s office for the seventh time as part of a criminal investigation into Trump’s finances. Cohen is expected to attend an eighth meeting in the near future.
Manhattan’s district attorney, Cy Vance Jr. (D), is conducting an extensive investigation into the Trump family and business.
The investigation is examining various aspects of Trump’s finances and business. On Tuesday, it was reported that the Manhattan prosecutor’s office was stepping up its investigation of Trump, paying special attention to his property in Seven Springs, New York. Previous reports have indicated that Vance is looking to find out if the property’s value has been inflated to reap greater benefits from financial institutions.
The district attorney’s office obtained Trump’s tax returns from his accounting firm, Mazars USA, last month after a long legal dispute over access to documents. The development came after the Supreme Court rejected a last-ditch effort by Trump’s lawyers to protect the investigation documents.
Dean served as a key witness in the 1973 Senate trials over the Watergate scandal and detailed during his testimony how White House officials, including Nixon, obstructed justice to cover up the invasion at the Democratic National Committee headquarters.
Dean was later convicted of obstruction of justice and served four months in prison, after which he published two books about his role in the Watergate scandal.
