Rumors had been spreading that Michael Cohen could be Trump’s Achilles heel. The recent targeting by Robert Mueller and the FBI hit home hard for Trump.
The raid on his office and the refusal by a Judge to grant Trump’s lawyers access to documents seized wasn’t helping the situation.
Analysts believed that the pressure Trump’s lawyer was now facing could make him crack and throw him under the bus.
The belief by some that Cohen could eventually be the one who sinks Trump was disputed by Trump. He disagreed with the idea and even tweeted about it.
Poor Cohen
A longtime friend of Cohen apparently spoke about his upbringing.
“He grew up in a homogenous, wealthy enclave, and he came to a radically different place, Brighton Beach, on the border of Coney Island, which was filled with immigrants and minorities,” said the friend.
Cohen had recently joined Trump’s legal team after his head lawyer quit. He was once the personal lawyer of Trump and was considered a friend.
Things got rocky really fast after the feud with Stormy Daniels began. It got worse when FBI raided his office.
Michael even helped out Trump once when as a unit owner he faced trouble while managing the property. Cohen sided with Trump and he eventually won that battle.
“When Michael won that fight, that’s when Trump gained a lot of respect for him,” said David Schwartz.
Schwartz was a longtime friend of Cohen and his legal representative.
