The FBI is reportedly investigating a $150,000 deal between Michael Cohen and Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI). Mark Ko, who says he was a translator when the agreement was made, told The Washington Post that the FBI interviewed him about it recently. KAI is reportedly seeking a contract with the U.S. Air Force. A spokesman for KAI told the Post the company was unaware of Cohen’s relationship with President Donald Trump. Various companies, including AT&T and another firm with ties to a Russian oligarch, have acknowledged paying Cohen’s shell company, Essential Consultants LLC.
