Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen recently revealed details of a conversation he had with David Pecker regarding a bonus he received. Cohen expressed his dissatisfaction with the bonus, stating, 'Can you believe this after all of this and laying out $130,000 to protect him, this is the best that I get?'
Cohen further explained that he was personally insulted by the bonus, not so much because of the amount, but due to the disrespect he felt it conveyed. He recounted telling Pecker, 'I couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t even so much about the number as much as it was about the disrespect that came with it. I was just personally insulted.'
The conversation sheds light on the strained relationship between Cohen and Pecker, as well as the complexities of their interactions in the context of protecting former President Donald Trump. Cohen's candid remarks provide insight into the dynamics of loyalty and compensation within Trump's inner circle.
