NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, has paid an unannounced visit to the federal courthouse in New York where he pleaded guilty a month ago.Cohen left the building at around 1:30 p.m. Friday, declining to say why he was there.

He also declined to comment on any discussions he’s had with special counsel Robert Mueller.

Mueller is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

On Thursday, Cohen confirmed in a tweet that he had met with Mueller and provided “critical information.”

Cohen is awaiting a December sentencing after pleading guilty to tax fraud, bank fraud and campaign finance violations.

During his plea, Cohen said Trump directed him to arrange payments to a porn star before the 2016 election.

  1. He thinks he left his earbuds there?

  2. Of course, this is definitely an unannounced visit. …definitely an unannounced visit. Of course, this is definitely an unannounced visit. Vern, my main man. My main man, Vern.

  3. Not announcing his courthouse visits… the touch of the common man.

  4. Cooperation Agreement Filed. Sealed Document, not on docket. Courtroom not open to public. Only the defendant, his attorneys and the AUSAs (and the judge and the courtroom personnel) present. No docket entry for event.

  5. Uh, I think I left my soul in here last time. Won’t be large, probably slipped between the seats.
