During the ongoing legal proceedings, Michael Cohen has been questioned about the payments made by American Media Inc. (AMI) to Karen McDougal, a matter that was included in his guilty plea in 2018. The prosecutor, Susan Hoffinger, inquired why Cohen collaborated with AMI to settle McDougal's situation.
In response, Cohen stated that the reason for working with AMI to pay off McDougal was to prevent any obstacles that could potentially impede Mr. Trump's chances of winning the election. This revelation sheds light on the extent to which Cohen was willing to go to protect Trump's interests during the campaign.
