Donald Trump s former attorney Michael Cohen this week said it was comical the former president is whining about his hush money trial potentially preventing him from attending the high school graduation ceremony of his teenage son, Barron Trump.

Trump has disingenuously spun Judge Juan Merchan s comment about seeing how the trial goes before deciding on whether court can be postponed May 17 for the event into the lie that hes likely been banned from going, sparking outrage among conservatives .

Cohen, though, highlighted that he wasnt aware that Trump had attended the graduations of his other children, Donald Trump Jr. , Ivanka Trump , Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump.

I find it not just comical, right, but I find it insulting that thats the big issue, Cohen, who spent years as Trumps fixer, said on the MeidasTouch Networks Political Beatdown podcast.

I missed my 25th anniversary and my wifes 50th birthday because I was in Otisville, in part because of things that I had done at the direction of and for the benefit of Donald Trump, he recalled.

So, before I start shedding a tear for him, for Barron, and, Im sure Melania is extremely excited hes not going to be there, Cohen added. Rest assured Im not losing any sleep nor am I going to shed a tear that Trump cant go to Barrons graduation.

Cohen is poised to be a star witness in Trumps trial, which began Monday and centers on allegations that Trump paid hush money before the 2016 election to silence porn actor Stormy Daniels over their alleged affair.

Trumps onetime right-hand man was sentenced to three years in prison for lying to Congress, campaign finance violations and other charges relating to the payments. He is now a fierce critic of his former boss.
