August 21, 2018 was a watershed in the investigations surrounding president Trump. A jury in Virginia found his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, guilty on eight felony counts. Almost simultaneously, in New York, Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to eight felony counts of tax evasion, bank fraud, and orchestrating illegal campaign contributions for Trump’s 2016 campaign. It was a remarkable day for a president who campaigned promising to surround himself with “only the best people.” Although both cases are linked to Trump, they have different implications for the president, the Mueller investigation, and for what might be coming next from federal prosecutors.
