Trump allies worry federal investigations in New York could lead to president’s downfall

Members of Donald Trump’s inner circle have publicly and privately expressed worries that federal investigations underway in the Southern District of New York could spell the beginning of the end for his presidency. Chris Christie, the former Republican governor of New Jersey and a friend of the president, said in an interview with Fox News on Friday morning the SDNY probes “have no restriction in what they can look at” and have been provided a “tour guide” in Michael Cohen. Cohen “said he was in constant contact with the Southern District of New York, and that he believes the president committed other crimes but he can’t talk about it because he’s working with the Southern District of New York”, the governor said about Cohen’s explosive public testimony on Capitol Hill earlier this week.
