Former ally Michael Cohen says Trump ‘should be in a cage’

Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s testimony has become a central piece in the case against the former president. Cohen claims to have arranged payments to Stormy Daniels on behalf of Trump to keep her quiet about their alleged affair. This led to Trump being indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records.

However, Cohen’s credibility as a witness has come into question. Professor David Schultz from the University of Minnesota Law School believes that Cohen’s behavior, including hosting a nightly live show on TikTok where he receives donations and interacts with fans, could impact the trial. Schultz suggests that Cohen’s actions may be profit-motivated or politically driven, potentially leading to a mistrial or grounds for appeal.

Despite the doubts surrounding his credibility, Cohen remains confident in his testimony. He recently commented on David Pecker’s testimony, the former National Enquirer publisher, who corroborated Cohen’s claims about covering up negative stories about Trump. Cohen expressed his determination to tell the truth in court, even donning a computer-generated knight’s helmet during a livestream.

The circus-like atmosphere surrounding Cohen’s nightly live show and his interactions with Trump impersonators on TikTok have added a unique twist to the high-profile trial. As the case unfolds, all eyes will be on Cohen’s testimony and its impact on the proceedings.
