В июле 2018 Руди Джулиани (который прямым образом является преемником Коэна в должности личного адвоката Трампа) говорил: “God bless him. I do not expect that Michael Cohen is going to lie. I think he is going to tell the truth, as best he can, given his recollection.”
Ныне в Конгрессе расследуют, не махали ли в это время перед Коэном морковкой президентского помилования.
Lawmakers are investigating whether President Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen was involved in any discussions about possible pardons — which they view as a potentially ripe area of inquiry into whether anyone sought to obstruct justice, people familiar with the matter said. Cohen has said publicly he never asked for — and would not accept — a pardon from Trump. But people familiar with the matter said his knowledge on the topic seems to extend beyond that statement. Privately, lawmakers on the House and Senate intelligence committees pressed Cohen this week on whether he had had any discussions about a possible pardon, and if so, when and with whom those conversations took place, the people said. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the testimony was not public. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/lawmakers-exploring-possible-pardon-talks-involving-michael-cohen/2019/03/02/35dfd94e-3b88-11e9-aaae-69364b2ed137_story.html

Но очевидно, что до того, как он стал давать показания против Трампа, Коэн был честнейшим человеком с “wonderful family” https://yakov-a-jerkov.livejournal.com/1619519.html?thread=57945919#t57945919
