During a recent hearing, Trump attorney Todd Blanche questioned former detective Jeremy Rosenberg about confirming to Michael Cohen the indictment of Donald Trump. Rosenberg, who previously worked with the Manhattan district attorney's office, was asked by Blanche if he had informed Cohen about the indictment before it was publicly announced by Alvin Bragg's office.
Blanche's inquiry was prompted by news reports suggesting that Rosenberg may have disclosed information about the indictment to the media before informing Cohen. However, Cohen denied receiving any prior notification from Rosenberg regarding Trump's indictment.
Cohen revealed that he first became aware of the indictment through an article published by The New York Times. In a text exchange with Rosenberg, Cohen expressed his surprise at learning about the indictment through the media outlet, rather than being informed directly.
The exchange between Blanche, Cohen, and Rosenberg sheds light on the communication dynamics surrounding the disclosure of sensitive legal information. The questioning during the hearing aimed to clarify the sequence of events leading up to the public revelation of Trump's indictment and the role played by individuals involved in the case.
