Trump Attorney Questions Michael Cohen's Credibility In Tax Fraud Case

Former U.S. President Donald Trump holds a campaign rally in Hialeah

During the ongoing legal proceedings, Trump attorney Todd Blanche has brought up Michael Cohen's book, 'Revenge,' where Cohen reportedly described his tax charges as 'bogus.' Blanche questioned Cohen's motives, suggesting that Cohen pleaded guilty not because he believed he was guilty of tax fraud, but to protect his family.

Blanche referenced a passage from Cohen's book where he stated that the charges against him were '100% inaccurate,' indicating his strong denial of any wrongdoing. Cohen affirmed this sentiment during the questioning, reiterating that he did not engage in tax fraud.

The defense's line of questioning seems to focus on Cohen's willingness to take responsibility for his actions. Blanche probed Cohen about his past statements in pretrial proceedings and his testimony, trying to gauge the extent to which Cohen accepts blame for his previous wrongdoings.

These exchanges shed light on the complex legal battle unfolding between Cohen and the prosecution, with both sides presenting contrasting narratives about Cohen's involvement in the alleged tax fraud. Blanche's interrogation underscores the importance of understanding Cohen's perspective and motivations behind his actions.
