In the five years since Michael Cohen made the transition from Donald Trump’s true-blue bulldog fixer to his greatest foe, he’s been raided by the FBI, served three years in custody, testified before millions in congressional probes, and cooperated extensively in wide-ranging criminal investigations into the former president’s business dealings.
At his trial kicking off against the Trump Organization in Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday, Cohen plans to convince a panel of New Yorkers that his former boss’ company should foot the costs for all lawyers involved in the yearslong saga.
After being selected, jurors are expected to hear evidence for four days starting July 24, including testimony from Trump Organization CEO Donald Trump Jr., whom Cohen’s lawyers got the green light to call as a witness last week. Don Jr.’s lawyers said in a filing Friday that he would comply with their subpoena.
