Allen Weisselberg, Longtime Trump Organization CFO, Testified and Was Granted Immunity in Cohen Probe

President Trump’s financial gatekeeper was granted immunity by federal authorities in New York and testified before a grand jury, the third longtime confidant of Mr. Trump known to have provided information in an illegal hush-money investigation that has implicated the president.

Allen Weisselberg, who has served for decades as chief financial officer and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, testified several weeks ago in the criminal investigation by federal prosecutors in Manhattan into Michael Cohen, Mr. Trump’s former lawyer, people familiar with the matter said.

Earlier this week, Mr. Cohen pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to eight criminal charges, including facilitating illegal campaign contributions during the 2016 presidential campaign to pay hush money to two women. He said Mr. Trump directed him to make the payments.

Confronting Democratic attacks, Republicans propose codifying insurance protections for sick people

Senate Republicans announced legislation Friday to guarantee health insurance coverage for people with pre-existing conditions nationwide after scathing attacks from Democrats alleging that the GOP is taking away protections for sick people.

A group of 10 GOP senators introduced a bill on Thursday to ensure equal healthcare coverage regardless of health status. Democrats are making their support for pre-existing conditions a major part of their strategy in the 2018 midterm elections.
