In a recent court hearing, former President Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, admitted to lying about his involvement in the payoff of adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The revelation came during questioning by Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger.
During the hearing, Hoffinger asked Cohen whether he continued to deceive about his role in the payment to Daniels throughout much of 2018. Cohen responded with a simple 'Yes ma'am.'
This admission sheds light on the ongoing legal battles surrounding the hush money payment made to Daniels in 2016, allegedly to keep her quiet about an affair she had with Trump. Cohen's acknowledgment of his dishonesty further complicates the narrative surrounding the incident.
As Trump's personal attorney at the time, Cohen played a central role in handling sensitive matters for the former president. His admission of lying about the Daniels payment raises questions about the extent of his involvement in other potentially unethical or illegal activities on behalf of Trump.
The hearing marks another chapter in the legal saga that has followed Cohen since his falling out with Trump and subsequent cooperation with federal investigators. His willingness to come clean about his past deceptions may have far-reaching implications for both himself and his former client.
It remains to be seen how Cohen's admission will impact the ongoing investigations into Trump's business dealings and potential legal troubles. The revelation of his lies about the Stormy Daniels payment adds another layer of complexity to an already convoluted web of legal challenges facing the former president.
