President Trump's former personal attorney and former campaign manager will both face jail time.
The President's former personal attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty today to eight felonies relating to bank and tax fraud.
He also pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations involving payments to two women "at the direction of a candidate for federal office" and with the "purpose of influencing the election." Though he did not directly name President Donald Trump, it is widely understood that this is who he is referring to.
The maximum sentence for this plea agreement is 65 years, although he will receive a far shorter sentence than the maximum. His sentencing date is set for December 12th.

A Virginia jury has found Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort guilty on 8 counts of fraud. He was convicted on 5 counts of filing false tax returns, 2 counts of bank fraud and 1 count of failing to fail an IRS form.
He was originally charged with 18 counts- jurors were unable to determine a verdict on the other ten counts.
Additionally, he will need to appear in federal court in Washington, D.C. to face a second set of criminal charges. These charges include failure to register as a foreign agent, obstruction of justice and money laundering.
President Trump has the authority to pardon Michael Cohen or Paul Manafort, although it could show evidence of obstruction or an abuse of power.
