From friend to foe: Michael Cohen once described himself as Trump's 'pitbull'. He is now the prosecution's star witness in Trump's hush-money trial.
Michael Cohen - the Trump loyalist turn prosecution's star witness - could be crucial in Donald Trump 's hush-money trial, ITV News' Gamal Fahnbulleh explains.Cohen - who once described himself as Trump 's "spokesman, thug, pitbull and lawless lawyer" - may now deliver testimony that could render his old boss to be convicted of a crime.
"If you do something wrong, I'm going to come at you, grab you by the neck and I'm not going to let you go until I'm finished."Cohen's appearance in court will mark the peak of a bitter personal battle between himself and Trump. Cohen, however, did exactly that. That August, he pled guilty to federal campaign-finance charges, during which he implicated Trump.He admitted tax evasion, orchestrating illegal campaign contributions in the form of hush money payments, and lying to Congress about his work on a possible Trump real estate project in Moscow.
In his autobiography, Disloyal, Cohen wrote: "I know where the skeletons are buried, because I'm the one who buried them."Trump's defence hinges on his maintaining that Cohen was paid for legal work, not a cover-up, and that there was nothing illegal about the agreements he facilitated with Daniels.
