Evgeny Freidman, arrested Wed., and DT lawyer Michael Cohen are longtime friends --
not just business partners -- who sometimes talk every day, according to Freidman in an interview in February.
And Michael Cohen himself is a "person of interest" in the Trump/Russia investigation.
According to the report, after Cohen had a falling out with a previous business partner (in the NYC taxi business), Simon Barber,
"Freidman assumed control of those 15 medallion companies on Cohen’s behalf. In a February phone conversation with TPM, a nervous-sounding Freidman confirmed that he’d been managing medallions for Cohen for more than 16 years, including some in Chicago. While emphasizing that he didn’t want to comment on such a 'hot issue,' he heaped praise on his longtime friend, saying the two 'talk daily sometimes.'
“'I keep up a relationship with him,' Freidman said before rushing off the phone. 'I help him out as much as I can. I also have a business relationship but we’re friends, you know. We have dinner with his wife.'”
