Cohen admits he stole from Trump Organization. What it might mean. – The Washington Post
The defense landed a credibility blow when Michael Cohen admitted he “stole” from the Trump Organization. But at what cost?
For the second consecutive day in court, former president Donald Trump’s lawyers produced what they may have thought was a “gotcha” moment in Trump’s Manhattan trial because it undercut former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s credibility.
But the impact and circumstances surrounding the first moment — Cohen’s supposedly lying about an Oct. 24, 2016, phone call with Trump — remain murky.
