NYT: Cohen investigated for bank fraud
New from the New York Times today:
Cohen, Trumps Ex-Lawyer, Investigated for Bank Fraud in Excess of $20 Million
Investigators are also examining whether Mr. Cohen violated campaign finance or other laws by helping to arrange financial deals to secure the silence of women who said they had affairs with Mr. Trump. The inquiry has entered the final stage and prosecutors are considering filing charges by the end of August, two of the people said.

Manafort trial done for today. Deliberations start tomorrow.
From Zoe Tillman on Twitter:
"We are done for the day. I'll have more soon on closing arguments by proseucotrs and the defense. The jury instructions took more than an hour and a half. The judge then excused the four alternates, and said the jury would begin deliberating first thing tomorrow"

MSNBC has GOT to cover other stories!
Jesus Christ! Three straight days of nothing but wall to wall coverage of the immigration story! This is disgusting.
Yes I know the immigration story is very important. Maybe it even requires 30 minutes per hour. But THEY ARE NOT COVERING ANY OTHER STORY!
The freaks in the White House are doing 100 terrible things every day and no one is covering it.
MSNBC: Move on to other stories already!
CNN: Those North Korea explosions for the press may have been meaningless
Washington (CNN) - What first appeared to be a gesture indicating North Korea might be willing to dismantle its nuclear weapons program appears to have been little more than a propaganda effort for the world's cameras.

Trump Asked Sessions to Retain Control of Russia Inquiry After His Recusal
This looks interesting:
Mr. Trump, who had told aides that he needed a loyalist overseeing the inquiry, berated Mr. Sessions and told him he should reverse his decision, an unusual and potentially inappropriate request.
Mr. Sessions refused.
The confrontation, which has not been previously reported, is being investigated by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, as are the presidents public and private attacks on Mr. Sessions and efforts to get him to resign.

Assange's refuge in Ecuadorian embassy 'in jeopardy'
This could be sweet!
Washington (CNN) - Julian Assange's nearly six-year refuge at the Ecuadorian embassy in London is in danger, opening the WikiLeaks founder to arrest by British authorities and potential extradition to the US, multiple sources with knowledge tell CNN.
While Assange has in the past claimed his position in the embassy was under threat, sources say his current situation is "unusually bad" and that he could leave the embassy "any day now," either because he will be forced out or made to feel so restricted that he might choose to leave on his own. His position there is "in jeopardy," one source familiar with the matter said.
