Judge Juan Merchan issued a stern rebuke to former President Donald Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, after the defense raised concerns regarding Cohen's continued commentary on social media platforms. Cohen appeared on TikTok wearing a shirt bearing an image of Trump behind bars.
Defense attorney Todd Blanche argued that Cohen's statements were becoming increasingly problematic, impeding Trump's ability to respond to witness testimony, ABC News reported. However, rather than ordering Cohen to desist, Judge Merchan directed prosecutors to convey his request to the former attorney, highlighting the court's frustration with Cohen's behavior.
