#BREAKING: Michael Cohen disavows parts of his guilty plea in recorded phone call with Tom Arnold: report
President Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, reportedly told comedian Tom Arnold that he is not guilty of some of the charges for which he pleaded guilty, and expressed frustration at the length of his sentence and a lack of support from those in Washington.
In recordings of a March phone call Arnold provided to The Wall Street Journal, Cohen decried being "a man all alone" in Washington, while insisting that some of the charges including one related to his home-equity line of credit (Heloc) were "lie[s]."
“There is no tax evasion,” he told Arnold, according to the Journal. “And the Heloc? I have an 18 percent loan-to-value on my home. How could there be a Heloc issue? How? Right?…It’s a lie.”
“I love this woman, and I am not going to let her get dragged into the mud of this crap,” Cohen added, referring to his wife, whom he said was also targeted by prosecutors. “And I never thought the judge was going to throw a three-year fricking sentence.”
Cohen has reportedly pushed the Democratic chairs of several congressional committees to send letters to prosecutors indicating his cooperation with their investigations in the hopes of obtaining a reduced sentence, though there is no indication they have granted his request.
“You would think that you would have folks, you know, stepping up and saying, ‘You know what, this guy’s lost everything,’” Cohen said, according to the Journal, appearing to refer to the lawmakers.
“My family’s happiness, and my law license,” Cohen reportedly continued. “I lost my business…my insurance, my bank accounts, all for what? All for what? Because Trump, you know, had an affair with a porn star? That’s really what this is about.”
Cohen is set to begin a three-year prison sentence in the coming weeks after pleading guilty last year to a number of financial crimes.
He and Arnold have known each other for months, and Arnold told NBC News last year that the two were working together on "taking Trump down."
Arnold has been working since Trump's election to obtain unaired tapes of recording sessions of "The Apprentice," the president's former reality TV show, on which Trump is alleged to have made racist and other inappropriate remarks.
Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, responded to Cohen's remarks Wednesday in a tweet, calling it "Poetic justice for a disbarred lawyer who surreptitiously recorded his client and numerous others including [CNN's] Chris Cuomo."

Ex-State Department employee pleads guilty to conspiring with China
A former State Department employee pleaded guilty Wednesday to providing Chinese agents with internal U.S. government documents, the Department of Justice announced.
Candace Marie Claiborne, 63, faces a maximum of five years in prison for lying to investigators and hiding her contacts with and gifts from foreign agents, prosecutors said. She entered her guilty plea before Judge Randolph D. Moss of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
“Candace Marie Claiborne traded her integrity and non-public information of the United States government in exchange for cash and other gifts from foreign agents she knew worked for the Chinese intelligence service,” said John Demers, the assistant attorney general for national security, in a statement. “She withheld information and lied repeatedly about these contacts."

“Candace Marie Claiborne traded her integrity and non-public information of the United States government in exchange for cash and other gifts from foreign agents she knew worked for the Chinese intelligence service,” said John Demers, the assistant attorney general for national security, in a statement. “She withheld information and lied repeatedly about these contacts."
According to the Justice Department, Claiborne had "repeated contacts" with two agents from the People’s Republic of China Intelligence Service. Prosecutors said she received tens of thousands of dollars in gifts and benefits over five years, including a fully furnished apartment, international travel and vacations and a monthly stipend.
In exchange for the gifts, Claiborne provided China with documents from the State Department that covered subjects including U.S. economic strategies and "visits by dignitaries between the two countries," the Justice Department said.
Claiborne began working as an office management specialist for the Department of State in 1999 and had a top-secret security clearance, according to the plea documents. Her overseas posts included China, Iraq and Sudan.
