- Cohen, who was imprisoned in part for representing Trump, is expected to offer behind-the-scenes details at his fraud trial about how Trump financed his real-estate empire.
- Trump has denied Cohen’s allegations and called him a convicted liar.
Michael Cohen, a former personal lawyer and fixer for Donald Trump, is ready to confront him face-to-face Tuesday at the former president’s New York trial for civil fraud.
Cohen went to prison in part for arranging hush money payments for Trump to a porn actress and a former Playboy model, which remain at the heart of a pending criminal case against Trump. Cohen has previously testified before Congress in February 2019 that Trump inflated property values to secure loans and insurance.
Now Cohen is prepared to bring his insider view of the Trump Organization to a trial where a judge has already ruled Trump committed fraud for years and ordered the cancellation of Trump’s business certificates. New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million.
“It appears that I will be reunited with my old client @realDonaldTrump when I testify this Tuesday, October 24th at the @NewYorkStateAG civil fraud trial,” Cohen posted on Threads. “See you there!”
