"There was also support for the account from a lawyer in the US who has uncovered details of Mr Cohen's finances, Michael Avenatti. He represents a porn actress, Stormy Daniels, in legal action against President Trump.

Avenatti said that Suspicious Activity Reports filed by Mr Cohen's bank to the US Treasury showed he had received money from "Ukrainian interests"."

He's like a shark, just calmly swimming thru all the carnage he leaves behind.
He will sell anything , flat out deny he did it,and attack anyone who tries to stop him.
and now he can do it on a global scale.

he truly is dangerous.

Maybe it was laundered through Cohen, so they had plausible deniability.

Either way, pretty sure that taking bribes from foreign governments is highly illegal.
