An exchange about Donald Trump s former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen had the ex-presidents current lawyer Todd Blanche grinning during Trumps hush money trial, per CNN s Kaitlan Collins.
On Tuesdays broadcast of Anderson Cooper s AC360 show, a panel discussion turned to the latest developments in the case against Trump and in particular the testimony given by lawyer Keith Davidson about his role in the hush money that Trump allegedly paid to porn actor Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election to keep quiet about their earlier alleged affair. Trump is accused of falsifying business documents in a bid to cover it up.
Davidson detailed the aggressive nature of Cohen when it came to defending his then-client Trump and remembered how Gina Rodriguez, Daniels publicist , once referred to Cohen as some jerk in a telephone call to him.
Collins commented, Trumps attorney, I should note, was grinning at points when Keith Davidson was testifying that. I never saw Trump himself laughing. But even Trumps team was laughing. I mean, everyone who knows Michael Cohen, knows how Michael Cohen is.
The moment did kind of prompt a round of laughter in the courtroom, she added.
Cooper, however, noted that Cohen, who was sentenced to prison for his role in the hush money scheme and has now become a vocal critic of his former boss, will be called as the prosecutions main witness.
