Michael Cohen, a key witness in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hush money case against former President Donald Trump, has become increasingly vocal ahead of his anticipated testimony in the trial.
Cohen has participated in a string of recent media interviews in which he acknowledges that Trump’s defense team will attempt to undermine his credibility during the trial, including by showcasing Cohen’s felony convictions and incentives Cohen may have to lie about Trump.
His media blitz comes as Trump’s defense attorneys signal they plan to paint Cohen as an unreliable witness during the trial.
“One of the things that Donald and his legal team are trying to do is every day it’s to discredit me, and they think that that’s a winning strategy for getting an overturn of whatever conviction that the jury may or may not determine,” Cohen said in a television interview over the weekend. “That’s not the way that you run a trial. Have your own defense.”
