Key pieces of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation appear to be falling into place. In three court filings Friday, prosecutors for the first time connected President Trump to a crime involving hush money payments to a porn actress.

President Trump appears poised to make Nick Ayers his third chief of staff as he prepares for re-election, replacing John Kelly with a wunderkind political operative whose confident, no-nonsense manner has ruffled feathers but also stirred admiration. Trump is poaching the 36-year-old Ayers from Vice President Mike Pence, for whom he has served as chief of staff since the summer of last year. Beginning in his early 20s, Ayers served…

A short time later, special counsel Robert Mueller’s office filed its own court documents saying that Cohen lied to investigators to protect Trump regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. It said the attorney committed a serious crime but had made significant efforts to assist the special counsel’s office, which didn’t recommend a specific sentence but appeared to suggest some leniency would be warranted.

Both the Southern District of New York and special counsel Robert Mueller’s office dropped their respective sentencing memos for President Trump’s since-fired personal attorney Michael Cohen just before 5 p.m. on Friday.

Federal prosecutors in New York are suggesting that Michael Cohen, the president’s longtime personal attorney and fixer, serve a “substantial term of imprisonment” for crimes he pleaded guilty to in August, including campaign finance violations, according to documents filed Friday afternoon. “Cohen, an attorney and businessman, committed four distinct federal crimes over a period of several years,” prosecutors in the Southern District of New York wrote. “He was motivated to…

President Trump on Friday fired back at former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, by calling him “dumb as a rock” and “lazy as hell.” “Mike Pompeo is doing a great job, I am very proud of him. His predecessor, Rex Tillerson, didn’t have the mental capacity needed,” Trump tweeted Friday. “He was dumb as a rock and I couldn’t get rid of him fast enough. He was lazy as hell….

WASHINGTON — It wasn’t until the very end of the eulogy for his father, George H.W. Bush, that former President George W. Bush broke down, as he said that the elder Bush was “the best father a son or daughter could have.” Mr. Bush also told mourners at the National Cathedral Wednesday of the last conversation he had with his father, when he was told last week that the elder…
