      Furman cited Cohen’s testimony at Trump’s civil fraud trial in a Manhattan state court last October. On the witness stand, Cohen insisted he wasn’t actually guilty of tax evasion even though he pleaded guilty to the charge in 2018. Asked if he had lied to the federal judge who accepted his guilty plea, Cohen said, “Yes.”
      “Cohen repeatedly and unambiguously testified at the state court trial that he was not guilty of tax evasion and that he had lied under oath” to the late Judge William H. Pauley III, Furman wrote.

      Have they reported that this case is all about = incorrect records & the NY prosecutors claim the records should have been recorded as Campaign Expenses not Legal Expenses as they have been recorded?

      Furman cited Cohen’s testimony at Trump’s civil fraud trial in a Manhattan state court last October. On the witness stand, Cohen insisted he wasn’t actually guilty of tax evasion even though he pleaded guilty to the charge in 2018. Asked if he had lied to the federal judge who accepted his guilty plea, Cohen said, “Yes.”
      “Cohen repeatedly and unambiguously testified at the state court trial that he was not guilty of tax evasion and that he had lied under oath” to the late Judge William H. Pauley III, Furman wrote.

    Michael Cohen always looks to me like he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. The courtroom artist completely captures this, she must feel it too. Thank you once again for your thoughtful, erudite observations Mr. O"Donnell.

      Furman cited Cohen’s testimony at Trump’s civil fraud trial in a Manhattan state court last October. On the witness stand, Cohen insisted he wasn’t actually guilty of tax evasion even though he pleaded guilty to the charge in 2018. Asked if he had lied to the federal judge who accepted his guilty plea, Cohen said, “Yes.”
      “Cohen repeatedly and unambiguously testified at the state court trial that he was not guilty of tax evasion and that he had lied under oath” to the late Judge William H. Pauley III, Furman wrote.

      I saw an interview once when Michael was asked about his and his family's safety, and the look on his face showed every line. He said he worries about his family's safety every day. I imagine that this might be going through his mind right now. Trump is a mob boss and he knows it. I am sure that he is concerned for his and his family's safety, because his testimony is so damning. It's kind of scary. I hope everyone stays safe.

    Thank you MSNBC for your coverage of the trial in NY,
    Thank you too to Mr. Bragg for persevering and bringing this trial, despite all the adverse comments by so many.
    Without him and the efforts of his team, we, the people, would not have the information that we do have now.
