A businessman hired by Essential Consultants LLC -- the same shell company that President Donald Trump’s lawyer used to pay hush money to the adult film actress Stephanie Clifford -- says he has been questioned by the FBI.
Mark Ko, 44, told Bloomberg News that he worked as a translator during meetings between Essential Consultants LLC, run by Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, and Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd. The aircraft manufacturer is among several companies including AT&T Inc. and Novartis AG that have acknowledged hiring Essential Consultants largely to gain Cohen’s insights into Trump.
