Is the president's support declining

CBS News has learned President Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, secretly recorded conversations between the two. The New York Times reports that the two are heard discussing a payment to a former playboy model who claimed to have had an affair with Mister Trump. CBSN Political Contributor, Boston Herald Columnsit, and Politics Editor for NHJournal.com, Michael Graham, joins CBSN to discuss if this latest news, plus the president's summit in Helsinki, might cause him to lose some Republican support.

Trump says Michael Cohen is not his lawyer

President Trump has denied that Michael Cohen is his lawyer, though the president said he has always liked Cohen. During an impromptu Q-and-A session with reporters outside the White House, the president was asked whether Cohen was still his lawyer. "No, he's not my lawyer," the president responded. He also said, "I always liked Michael. I haven't spoken to Michael in a long time." "But I always liked Michael," the president added. "And he's a good person." When asked whether he's worried that Cohen might cooperate with prosecutors, the president replied, "No, I'm not worried because I did nothing wrong."
