Towards the end of last year, Michael Cohen received a jail sentence of three years for a series of white-collar crimes. One of the crimes included campaign finance violations; this directly ties in with Cohen’s conduct during the 2016 election. The former Trump attorney issued payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal; both women alleged to engaging in extramarital affairs with Trump between 2006 and 2007. The president, however, denies partaking in affairs with Daniels and McDougal.

President Trump’s relationship with his Russian counterpart is another subject of intrigue for believers of Russia collusion. Many Americans who dislike the president have referred to him as a “puppet” of the Russian president. This served as a common talking point which Hillary Clinton employed during the 2016 election.

At this point, allegations of Trump colluding with Russia are unlikely to subside. The president’s supporters maintain that such assertions are politically motivated; Trump’s detractors, however, believe otherwise. It does not appear as though either side will change the other’s mind.
