President Donald Trump on Thursday downplayed the amount of legal work his longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen carried out for him, but his description of Cohens role doesnt line up with Cohens account of his work for Trump in early 2017.
Lets just say I have no shortage of work. It encompasses all aspects of his life from his business to the personal, Cohen told the Wall Street Journal in a January 2017 interview, published in a profile of Cohen Thursday night. Its private between Mr. Trump and myself unless its made public because of a lawsuit or a news story.
Cohen did not provide details, but his description gave the impression that he was kept very busy with his work for Trump before he took office. Cohen was known as Trumps fixer and notable arranged a hush agreement with porn actress Stormy Daniels, paying her $130,000 in the fall of 2016 to keep silent about a past sexual encounter with Trump.
The President, however, tried to distance himself from Cohen on Thursday morning, now that his longtime attorney is under investigation for his business dealings. The President told Fox and Friends that Cohen managed a tiny, tiny little fraction of his legal work and that he has many attorneys, minimizing Cohens role on his legal team.

(13,526 posts)No shortage of "business" work. Barely any "lawyer" work. Which means the NY prosecutors should get almost all the files that were seized.

(22,156 posts)that RUMP is already engaged in, by claiming that Cohen barely did anything for him.
Makes you wonder...
Of course with all of the times that RUMP has claimed 'no collusion' etc., endless number of times...
What does he / RUMP take us for?
