Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is convicted on 8 counts of tax and bank fraud in the first trial stemming from Mueller's investigation. The same day, Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen pleads guilty to 8 counts including campaign finance violations, stating he made hush money payments 'in coordination with and at the direction of a candidate for federal office.' Trump calls the Cohen plea 'flipping' and says 'it's called flipping and it almost ought to be illegal.'
