During the trial today, Trump's lawyer quoted Michael Cohen's own words against him. Cohen had previously expressed hope and laughter at the thought of Donald Trump and his family being in prison. The defense attorney reminded the jury that Cohen had spent about a year at Otisville, a federal prison where he struck up an unlikely friendship with Rosie O'Donnell.
O'Donnell had shown kindness and empathy towards Cohen, despite their past conflicts fueled by Cohen's association with Trump. She even visited him during his prison sentence and maintained communication through texts and personal interactions.
