-- President Donald Trump’s former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen was disbarred in New York after pleading guilty to lying to Congress about a plan for a Trump Tower project in Moscow.An appeals court in Manhattan granted a request from a disciplinary panel to remove Cohen’s name from the roll of attorneys allowed to practice in the state. He was admitted to the bar in New York in 1992.Cohen was on Capitol Hill Tuesday, testifying privately before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The disciplinary panel had already asked the appeals court to disbar Cohen following his guilty plea in August to five counts of tax evasion, one count of making a false statement to a financial institution and two federal campaign finance violations related to his role in paying two women to keep quiet about their alleged sexual encounters with Trump before he became president.

JoeWhit98049019 Michael Cohen is a disbarred felon and he has crapped all over attorney client privileges. Democrats are so pitiful holding a hearing with a liar while President Trump is out of the country. This is really old and broken just like Democrats! 👎
