Early in Michael Cohen's testimony Wednesday, the convicted and disbarred former personal attorney for President Donald Trump told Congress that he and other employees of Trump's private company understood precisely what their jobs were.
"Every day, most of us knew we were coming in, and we were going to lie for him on something," Cohen said. "And that became the norm."
Cohen said it also was common for Trump to ask him to threaten someone, whether with a lawsuit, intimidation, or some other means _ some 500 times, he guessed, in the 10 years he worked for Trump.
