CNN legal analyst Elie Honig took aim at Michael Cohen on Tuesday and suggested his outward dislike for presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump would be a 'bonanza' for the defense team. 'The fact that Michael Cohen so obviously and over-the-top is consumed by hatred for Donald Trump, and wants him in prison, is celebrating and is selling t-shirts is outrageous. We sort of take it for granted because this has just been Michael Cohen‘s public persona for the last five, six years.
Cohen testified that he worked closely with Trump prior to the 2016 election and that he negotiated on his behalf with adult film actress Stormy Daniels. A hush money payment to Daniels, who has claimed she was paid to stay silent about an alleged affair with Trump, is at the heart of the charges against Trump that he falsified business records. He also said that he had secretly recorded Trump ahead of the election.
Pecker had paid former Playboy model Karen McDougal $150,000 to purchase her story that she had an affair with Trump and to subsequently quiet her claims ahead of the election. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records related to DA Alvin Bragg's investigation. Fox News' Emma Colton contributed to this report.
