Michael Cohen Will Lead Trump’s Jury to the Heart of Darkness
The fixer was at the center of the ex-president’s machinations and intimately familiar with the corrosive nature of his world.
At the center of it all.

Michael Cohen — fixer, confidant and pit bull — is expected to take the witness stand on Monday in the criminal fraud trial of his former taskmaster, Donald Trump.
Cohen will be the jury’s latest tour guide through the seedier reaches of the business and political territories the former president inhabited. Stormy Daniels, a porn actress; David Pecker, a former scandal monger; and Hope Hicks, a spin doctor, have all reminisced about well-documented sexual liaisons Trump allegedly pursued and then masked to protect his 2016 presidential candidacy. Trump has denied all of it.
