Convicted liar and perjurer Michael Cohen may have done it again, according to one noted legal analyst.
Fox News legal analyst and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said that Cohen may have committed perjury on Monday when he testified in the ongoing trial of former President Donald Trump regarding alleged hush money payments made to adult movie star Stormy Daniels.
“The one thing about yesterday that was striking, is I thought that Michael Cohen may have committed perjury again,” he said to Fox News “America’s Newsroom” co-host Dana Perino. “In my view, one of his answers just made no sense at all. He said that he taped his client, former President Trump, in order to keep David Pecker, the former publisher of the ‘National Enquirer’ honest and make sure he paid. First of all, it made no sense at all why he would do that, Pecker had been in communication with Trump himself, but it didn’t make any sense at all.”
“But Cohen seemed to try to find a reason for shattering every professional ethical standard in surreptitiously taping his client,” the law professor said. “And so it was really amazing to hear that answer, because I don’t think anyone, certainly I didn’t, believe it, that he was taping that to somehow benefit or affect David Pecker.”
Cohen, received a 36-month sentence for tax evasion in December 2018 and was subsequently disbarred.
He was also accused of using artificial intelligence to submit nonexistent cases to a federal judge in December in an attempt to have an early end to his probation.
“You know what it sounds like with a lot of these conversations? It sounds a lot like a client being told by a lawyer what they are going to do,” the law professor said.
“The lawyer is testifying against the client saying, ‘You should send him to jail for doing what I told him to do,’” he said.
