How Michael Cohen Turned Against President Trump
Michael D. Cohen was at a breaking point. He told friends he was suicidal. He insisted to lawyers he would never go to jail. Most of all, he feared that President Trump, his longtime boss, had forsaken him.
Basically he needs a little loving and respect booster, one of Mr. Cohens legal advisers at the time, Robert J. Costello, wrote in a text message to Rudolph W. Giuliani, the presidents lead lawyer. He is not thinking clearly because he feels abandoned.
That was last June. The booster from Mr. Trump never arrived. And by August, Mr. Cohens relationship with him had gone from fraught to hostile, casting a shadow on the Trump presidency and helping drive multiple criminal investigations into the presidents inner circle, including some that continued after the special counsels work ended.
In the biggest blow to the president personally, federal prosecutors in Manhattan effectively characterized Mr. Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal case against Mr. Cohen involving hush money payments to a pornographic film actress. Mr. Cohen, and evidence gathered by prosecutors, implicated the president.
Now, as Mr. Cohen prepares to head to prison in two weeks, dozens of previously unreported emails, text messages and other confidential documents reviewed by The New York Times suggest that his falling out with Mr. Trump may have been avoidable.
Missed cues, clashing egos, veiled threats and unaddressed money worries all contributed to Mr. Cohens halting decision to turn on a man he had long idolized and even once vowed to take a bullet for, according to the documents and interviews with people close to the events. Some of the documents have been turned over to the prosecutors in Manhattan, and a small number were mentioned in the special counsels report released on Thursday, which dealt extensively with Mr. Cohen and referred to him more than 800 times.
