    Michael Cohen, President Trump’s longtime confidant and former personal attorney, has resigned from his post as deputy finance chair of the Republican National Committee's Finance Committee, sources close to the RNC told ABC News.

    In his resignation letter to Ronna McDaniel, the RNC chair, Cohen cited the ongoing special counsel investigation as one reason for his departure. ABC News has reviewed the email.

    “This important role requires the full time attention and dedication of each member. Given the ongoing Mueller and SDNY investigations, that simply is impossible for me to do,” he wrote.

    Cohen also criticized the administration's policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the southern border, the first time he’s distanced himself from the president.

    "As the son of a Polish holocaust survivor, the images and sounds of this family separation policy is heart wrenching,” Cohen wrote. “While I strongly support measures that will secure our porous borders, children should never be used as bargaining chips."

    It's in Trump's self-interest to do so, so that won't change.

    Fake news. He never even mentioned the administration.

    He was obviously referring to the humane law written and enacted by Congress 20 years ago which mandates separating children from criminals.

    He further stated he objects to the Dems using children as bargaining chips.

    Doesn't the law say something about the criminals being somewhat more serious than just entering illegally? Don't they have to be felons?
