Michael Cohen is the most important prosecution witness in elected progressive Democratic district attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of former president Donald Trump. This should be a huge problem for Bragg, notwithstanding the unfailing help his prosecutors get from Judge Juan Merchan.
Trump’s former lawyer and self-described “fixer” — who, as former Trump aide Hope Hicks observed in her testimony, usually had to “fix” things only after he’d first “broken” them — has turned with a vengeance against his former boss. The bias is so unabashed that as late as last week — when prosecutors should have been telling him to lay low and keep his mouth shut — Cohen was appearing on an internet platform ripping the former president while clad in a T-shirt depicting Trump behind bars in an orange jump suit. (Cohen also heralded his coming run for Congress!)
