WASHINGTON _ At least two prominent law firms have made it clear they will not represent former Trump Organization lawyer Michael D. Cohen as he searches for a new legal team ahead of expected indictments, sources familiar with the interactions tell McClatchy.
And at least one wealthy friend was recently asked by Cohen to consider buying a pricey Manhattan apartment that the embattled Trump "fixer" with over a decade of business ties to Donald J. Trump is attempting to unload amid mounting legal bills. Cohen, his father Fima Shusterman, and his daughter Samantha own numerous properties in the New York area.
A lawyer who turned down overtures from Cohen's camp said he did so because he wasn't experienced in plea deals, which he said was one of the areas of strength Cohen had been seeking in new legal representation.
