In his testimony today, Michael Cohen, Trump's longtime attorney and fixer, confirmed that the president has committed at least 5 felonies. Those crimes are:
1) Conspiracy to defraud the United States. Cohen confirmed that Trump knew ahead of time about the release of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee.
2) Lying to the FBI and the Department of Justice. In his letter to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Trump claimed that he did not know about the release of hacked emails. That was a lie, according to Cohen.
3) Encouraging perjury. Cohen testified that Trump encouraged him to lie to Congress.
4) Campaign finance violations. Trump ordered Cohen to pay off his mistress in order to keep information about their affair from going public -- a clear violation of campaign finance laws.
5) Tax fraud. Cohen testified that Trump devalued his assets in order pay less in state and local taxes.
