Good Morning Australia!! - HUUUGE Breaking News!  Trump's ex-lawyer says Donald told him to commit a felony - The "rigged witch hunt" actually convicted two major witches from Trump's inner circle in one day - Turnbull's limited support reportedly got weaker while you slept - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Health Minister Greg Hunt and Trade Minister Steve Ciobo have reportedly offered their resignations to embattled Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and the ABC reports that another couple of Liberals may have defected to ex-Home Minister Peter Dutton's camp overnight.  That puts Dutton within four or five votes of the 42 he needs to seize the leadership should he make a second challenge.  Turnbull is telling coalition members that if Dutton succeeds, it would trigger an election that they are not prepared to win. 

Donald Trump's ex-personal lawyer Michael Cohen has reached a deal with US Federal Prosecutors in New York City to plead guilty to charges reportedly in relation to US$20 Million in bank fraud, tax fraud, and campaign finance fraud.  The latter charges came from illegal payments he made to porn star Stormy Daniels and another woman to buy their silence about their affairs with Trump - which he said were directed by Trump himself.  Yep, for the first time in modern history, a close associate he was ordered by a sitting White House occupant to commit a felony.  The deal reportedly includes five years of prison time.  In exchange, he's expected to sing like a canary to prosecutors about anyone he was associated with who shared in the guilt or was guilty of other things. 

Journalist Seth Hettena who has chronicled Trump's business career described Mr. Cohen as "the guy who knows where all the bodies are buried".  Or, as former GOP political consultant Rick Wilson tweeted to Trump: "Consider the overwhelming pyramid of evidence, documents, contemporaneous notes, recordings, nda's (non-disclosure agreements), contracts, sketchy bank paperwork, used pregnancy test kits, DNA swabs, Hefty trash bags full of hotel sheets, etc ad nauseum Cohen has. Enjoy."  Ouch!  The New York prosecutors aren't working with the Robert Mueller probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, but they would share any information they get with Mueller.

In concurrent news about associates of Donald Trump in extreme legal jeopardy, former Trump campaign boss Paul Manafort has been found guilty of eight corruption counts of tax evasion, bank fraud, and hiding foreign bank accounts in the first case brought to trial by special counsel Robert Mueller.  Even if he wasn't 68-years old, Manafort would be facing life in prison because the sentence could be as high as 240 years in the slammer.  The judge declared a mistrial on the other ten counts, meaning that Mr. Mueller will have the option of refiling them.  And earlier, former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn's sentencing has been postponed again, a signal that he is cooperating with Mueller. 

So, it's not looking too good for Trump right now, is it?  He's going to have one of his closed-door campaign rallies before a friendly audience in West Virginia tonight.

The US deported a former nazi prison guard who lied on his entry papers to gain US citizenship, claiming he spent World War II as a farmer.  Jakiw Palij's US citizenship was rescinded in 2003 and even though he is 95-years old, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maass says there is no statute of limitations on nazi atrocities; prosecuting nazis until the last one meets justice "means standing by our moral obligation to the victims and the subsequent generations".

The purported chief bomb maker for Al Qaeda's faction in the Arabian Peninsula was killed in a US drone attack last year, according to the Pentagon.  Saudi militant Ibrahim al-Asiri was reportedly behind a 2009 plot to bomb an airline with explosive underwear, as well as devices found on cargo planes in 2010.  

Indonesia's top Islamic body issued a weirdly mixed against the Rubella-Measles vaccine for allegedly containing human and pig cells.  The Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) simultaneously claimed the vaccine is "haram", or forbidden, but will allow Muslims to use it because of the lack of alternatives.  The MUI's decision is not legally binding in the country, it is highly influential and could make it difficult for people to get vaccinated.  "We've found ourselves in a position where we have no choice," a MUI official told CNN, "There has not been a vaccine found to be halal and sacred."  The group's leader is Ma'ruf Amin, a controversial hardline cleric chosen by President Joko Widodo as his running mate in the next election as he seeks to shore up his right flank.
