During the trial, Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass highlighted Michael Cohen's vested interest in the case, pointing out that Cohen has faced consequences for his involvement in the conspiracy while others have not. Steinglass emphasized that it is natural for Cohen to seek accountability from the defendant.
Cohen, who carried out tasks on behalf of Donald Trump for an extended period, felt abandoned when things turned sour. According to Steinglass, Trump distanced himself from Cohen and publicly disparaged him, leaving Cohen feeling betrayed.
