Michael Cohen condemned by CNN panel for secretly recording Trump: 'Highly uncool,' 'wildly unethical'

CNN anchor Brianna Keilar, along with a network panel, condemned Trump trial witness Michael Cohen for admitting during his testimony that he secretly recorded phone calls with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and other clients. Cohen, who entered another round of cross-examination during New York's case against the former president, told defense attorney Todd Blanche that he had recorded multiple phone calls with Trump and others and did not disclose he was doing so.

Several members of the panel, which included CNN legal analysts Elliot Williams and Elie Honig, engaged in a brief exchange over the legality of recording someone without consent. 'Some states — illegal,' Williams said. Keilar added, 'And ethically questionable even if it’s not illegal.' Williams said that what Cohen admitted to is not illegal in New York, where he worked as Trump’s fixer at the time, but added that it wasn’t something Cohen should have done.
