Let’s be clear: Michael Cohen is a great witness against Donald Trump in the latter’s ongoing Manhattan trial — and a terrible person to rely on for the prosecution’s case. As Trump’s onetime lawyer and “fixer,” Cohen was in the middle of the alleged scheme undergirding the case against the former president. At the same time, he’s also a known liar, having gone to federal prison in 2019 for, among other things, lying to Congress.
Much as was the case Tuesday, at the time of his sentencing he told the judge that his “weakness can be characterized as a blind loyalty to Donald Trump, and I was weak for not having the strength to question and to refuse his demands.” In 2019, BuzzFeed News published a story claiming that Trump had ordered Cohen to lie to Congress. It prompted a firestorm of drama that prompted the normally tight-lipped Mueller to issue a denial.
