During a recent development in the legal saga involving Michael Cohen, Trump attorney Todd Blanche confirmed that Cohen had referred to the federal judge who sentenced him as 'corrupt' and suggested that the judge was complicit in his prosecution.

Blanche further inquired if Cohen had used derogatory language to describe prosecutors from the US District Court for the Southern District of New York and Judge Pauley, to which Cohen responded in the affirmative.
