President Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, has been at the center of a high-profile trial in New York over hush-money payments made to women who claimed to have had affairs with the President. And now, Trump’s lawyer is slamming Cohen as a “liar” in the midst of the trial.
Rudy Giuliani, one of Trump’s current lawyers, has been quick to criticize Cohen’s credibility throughout the trial. In a recent interview, Giuliani called Cohen a “pathological liar” and accused him of being untrustworthy.
The trial has focused on the hush-money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election. Cohen has pleaded guilty to charges of campaign finance violations related to the payments, and has implicated Trump in the scheme.
However, Giuliani has been adamant in his defense of the President, claiming that Trump was unaware of the payments and that they were not related to the campaign. Giuliani has also accused Cohen of lying in order to reduce his own sentence, as well as to damage Trump politically.
The trial has been a major source of controversy and attention, with many speculating about the potential legal and political implications for Trump. Giuliani’s comments about Cohen only add fuel to the fire, as the President’s legal team continues to wage a public battle to defend their client.
As the trial continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how much impact Giuliani’s criticisms of Cohen will have on the proceedings. But one thing is certain: the drama surrounding the hush-money trial shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
