Subject of emergency alert message arrested - May 2, 2024 | SaltWire #dartmouth #update #suspectNEW YORK - Donald Trump's longtime fixer Michael Cohen was upset not to be offered a top job in Trump's administration after the Republican businessman-turned-politician won the 2016 presidential election, according to testimony at Trump's criminal hush money trial.

Davidson, who as the porn star's lawyer at the time helped arrange the payment, testified Cohen was"very despondent and saddened" during a long phone call after Trump won the election."I thought he was going to kill himself," Davidson said. In recorded phone calls played for the panel of 12 jurors and six alternates on Thursday, Cohen mused about his next steps after Trump’s victory, including whether he should “go rogue” or write a tell-all book.

The judge in the case is considering whether to fine Trump for calling Cohen a liar last week. Prosecutors say that violates a gag order barring Trump from making public comments about jurors, witnesses and families of the judge and prosecutors if the statements are meant to interfere with the case.
