Michael Cohen pled guilty in federal court to his criminal actions in relation to the exact same scheme that Donald Trump was recently convicted of in New York State.
So, yes, when Trump was on trial in New York State (the criminal one), Cohen testified for the prosecution. It seems ridiculous that Cohen would enter into a plea deal that included prison time, where Trump, who was convicted by a jury of 34 counts for the exact same thing, and without a plea deal is going to get off more easily.
(Yes, yes, I know that Cohen pled to different charges than Trump was convicted of. This doesn’t make the difference in outcomes for Trump vs. Cohen any less frustrating.)
Michael Cohen was Trump’s long-time “fixer,” up until he pled guilty to and was sentenced to prison for eight federal counts, including criminal tax evasion and campaign finance violations. Since that time, he has been very outspoken about exactly who Donald Trump is and what he does to people.

Thanks for clearing that up. I sorta thought so, but there’s so many shitheads tied to this guy.
