CNN's Elie Honig said Monday that Michal Cohen's admission to stealing from Donald Trump was worse than the former president's alleged crimes.

Michael Cohen's admission that he stole from the Trump Organization was worse than former President Trump allegedly falsifying business records, CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said Wednesday. 'The fact that he was ever charged with larceny is important because stealing $60,000 through fraud, which would be larceny in New York State, is more serious of a crime than falsifying business records,' he said.

Here’s the direct testimony the way Michael Cohen explained what happened: Michael Cohen explained this whole thing, quote ‘That’s what was owed, and I didn’t feel Mr. Trump deserved the difference.’ That’s a lot different than ‘I stole $60,000 from my boss on the transaction at the heart of this case,'' Honig said. CNN political commentator Tim Parlatore said the prosecution minimized what Cohen said he did during their initial questioning.
