During a recent court session, Georgia Longstreet, responsible for reviewing social media content, presented several tweets by Donald Trump regarding his former attorney Michael Cohen. One tweet from 2018 compared Cohen to Paul Manafort, who had been sentenced to prison for bank and tax fraud. Manafort was later pardoned by Trump while in office.
Another tweet from August 22, 2018, advised against hiring Cohen as a lawyer, with Trump suggesting, 'If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen!' On the same day, Trump also expressed sympathy for Manafort and his family.
