 “I can tell you it's my observation that what he knows, that he witnessed, will be of interest to the special counsel,” Cohen’s lawyer, Lanny Davis, told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos Wednesday on “Good Morning America.” 
 
 Cohen pleaded guilty Tuesday to eight counts that included campaign finance violations spawned from hush money agreements with two women, Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, who claim to have had affairs with Trump, which he has denied. Speaking to a packed federal courthouse in Manhattan, Cohen said he made those payments "in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office," referring to then-candidate Donald Trump.

 On “Good Morning America,” Davis accused Trump of committing “a criminal act that corrupted our democracy” in directing Cohen to make those payments and said Cohen would not accept a pardon from President Trump, if offered one. 
 
 “Michael Cohen was directed … to do a criminal act,” Davis said on “Good Morning America,” adding, “It was not done by Donald Trump because he had affairs with two women, he did not want the news of those affairs to come out in the last two weeks of the campaign. That is a crime.” 
 
 In addition to the campaign finance violations, Cohen pleaded guilty to a slew of bank fraud and tax evasion charges related to his personal business dealings. 
 
 Shortly after Cohen's guilty plea, the president's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, maintained that Trump is not at fault, adding, "There is no allegation of any wrongdoing against the president in the government's charges against Mr. Cohen." 
 
 "It is clear that, as the prosecutor noted, Mr. Cohen's actions reflect a pattern of lies and dishonesty over a significant period of time,” Giuliani said. 
 
 On "Good Morning America," Davis said Cohen “will tell the truth to everybody who asks him about Mr. Trump,” though it was unclear whether Cohen has agreed to meet with federal investigators. 
 
 Cohen's stunning admission marked the end of a monthslong investigation into his personal business practices, the genesis of which can be tied back to Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling during the 2016 campaign. Mueller referred the case to New York's Southern District to investigate. 
 
 Cohen served as Trump's fixer and trusted confidant for years, solving the real estate tycoon's legal troubles and once famously boasting that he would "take a bullet" for the president. A gratified patron, Trump praised his personal attorney as a "fine person with a wonderful family." 
 
 But as Cohen's legal exposure developed, their relationship soured and arrived at a breaking point last month when Cohen told ABC News that he was prepared to "put family and country first," a suggestion that rocked the White House as speculation of Cohen's flipping on the president reached a fever pitch. 
 
 At a campaign rally in West Virginia on Tuesday night, the president made no mention of Cohen's guilty plea.

 “He’s [Cohen] turned his life from what he did for Donald Trump, much of which he now regrets…but he decided, fundamentally, that his family and his country were his priorities.” Watch Michael Cohen’s lawyer Lanny Davis’ full interview with @ savannahguthriepic.twitter.com/h4T4Zexc8v 

 Lanny Davis, the attorney for former Trump fixer Michael Cohen, said President Trump's team of lawyers are "witnesses against him" and prove that his client was directed to make payments on Mr. Trump's behalf to keep his alleged affairs quiet. 
 
 "It's not about evidence. It is definitive, indisputable that Donald Trump's lawyers said in a letter to the special counsel that President Trump directed – the same word that Michael Cohen used in court yesterday under oath – directed Michael Cohen to make illegal payments. It's not a dispute. It's not about credibility. His own lawyers used the word directed," Davis told "CBS This Morning" on Wednesday. 
 
 "Yes, he [Trump] committed a crime," Davis said. "He should be indicted. If he were not president he clearly would be indicted and jailed for that crime. Whether he can be indicted as president of course is not yet decided by the Supreme Court." 
 
 Davis' comments came just one day after Cohen, as part of a plea deal with federal prosecutors, pleaded guilty to eight counts — including two campaign finance violations involving payments to silence women. Cohen said that he and Mr. Trump arranged the payment of hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels and a former Playboy model to influence the election. Cohen testified in federal court, according to his lawyer, that Mr. Trump directed Cohen to make the payments. 
 
 Davis told "CBS This Morning" that contradictory statements from Mr. Trump's team of attorneys, including Rudy Giuliani, prove the president committed a crime and should be indicted as a result. After the president previously denied any knowledge of payments to women in April, Giuliani said on Fox News a month later that Mr. Trump had reimbursed Cohen for a $130,000 payment he made to Stormy Daniels from personal funds as part of a non-disclosure agreement. 
 
 "He [Giuliani] said the president reimbursed Michael Cohen. So there is no dispute that his lawyers have not taken it back," Davis said. "They wrote it to the special counsel that President Trump committed a crime by directing – and why did he direct? Because he didn't want his signature on the check. Why? Because he was covering up right before the election. Or else, why didn't he do it himself?" 
 
 Davis added, "when Donald Trump recognized two weeks before the election that he did not want the affair with a porn star to become known to the American people or what he did with Ms. McDougal and keeping her one year affair quiet he acted with political purposes, that's a crime and I believe that if he were not president he would be part of being prosecuted right now." 
 
 Federal prosecutors claimed Cohen concealed more than $4 million from the IRS and, in 2016, made $280,000 in payments to two women who planned to speak publicly about their affairs with a "presidential candidate." 
 
 Meanwhile, Davis contends that Cohen also knew of election tampering efforts during the 2016 campaign, something he says would be "of interest to the special counsel." 
 
 "He had matters that would be of interest to the special counsel relating to pre-knowledge of computer hacking by Donald Trump. Which if true, if true, would constitute knowledge of a crime committed by a foreign government in hacking our computers which was part of the indictment of 12 Russians that the special counsel has already published. So my observation is that he can speak to that and beyond that I can't go, it will have to play out with the special counsel," Davis said. 
 
 Cohen's sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 12, with bail set at $500,0000. Federal prosecutors calculate he should spend between 51 and 63 months in prison.
– The days of Michael Cohen being willing to "take a bullet for" the president are seemingly long gone. He testified on Tuesday that he made hush-money payments to two women "in coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office." In the wake of his guilty plea on eight counts that include campaign finance violations, Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis, made the morning talk show rounds on Wednesday and offered up much more. A sampling of Davis' statements: To Good Morning America: "I can tell you it's my observation that what he knows, that he witnessed, will be of interest to the special counsel. ... Michael Cohen was directed ... to do a criminal act. It was not done by Donald Trump because he had affairs with two women, he did not want the news of those affairs to come out in the last two weeks of the campaign. That is a crime." Davis added that Cohen "will tell the truth to everybody who asks him about Mr. Trump." To NPR's Rachel Martin: "On the issue of violating campaign finance laws ... Donald Trump is guilty of a crime, and a president of the United States being guilty of a crime is far beyond what has been classically been called impeachable offenses. ... He is a criminal." He later said, "Mr. Cohen would never accept a pardon from a man that he considers to be both corrupt and a dangerous person in the Oval Office, and he has flatly authorized me to say under no circumstances would he accept a pardon from Mr. Trump." To the Today Show: "The president 'directed' him to commit a crime, meaning the president committed a crime ... and 'directed' is the word used. There is no dispute on the word 'direction.'" Then later, "Not only is he not hoping [for a pardon], he would not accept a pardon. He considers a pardon from somebody who has acted so corruptly as president to be something he would never accept." To CBS This Morning: "It's not about evidence. It is definitive, indisputable that Donald Trump's lawyers said in a letter to the special counsel that Donald Trump directed ... Michael Cohen to make illegal payments. It's not a dispute. It's not about credibility. His own lawyers used the word directed." Trump "should be indicted. If he were not president he clearly would be indicted and jailed for that crime." To MSNBC's Morning Joe: "In order to get Michael to be able to help, we need help on this fund, MichaelCohenTruthFund.com, we ask everybody to help Michael Cohen tell the truth about Donald Trump." Business Insider notes Davis promoted the GoFundMe campaign at 7:11am EDT, and that within 30 minutes, it went from less than $100 to nearly $12,000. It's currently north of $18,000.
