Michael Cohen, the defense attorney for former president Donald Trump, questioned him about his Twitter page on Tuesday, where he often held life streams of his conversations about the situation and disparaging Trump.
As soon as the combination- examination began, Trump’s security lawyer, Todd Blanche, asked Cohen,” We’ve never met, but you know who I am, do n’t you”? according to the Inner City Press ‘ Matthew Russell Lee. Cohen responded,” Yes”.
” You called me a little garbage on Tiktok”? followed by Blanch.
” Sounds like something I had say”, Cohen said, forcing Justice Juan Merchan to get guidance to” Approach”!
Trump’s attorney Blanche: You’ve commented about judge collection?
Prosecutor Hoffinger: Objection!
Justice Merchan: Sustained!
Blanche: You said on TIkTok that Mr. Pecker corroborated you?
Cohen: One called me and told me— Inner City Press ( @innercitypress ) May 14, 2024
Merchan removed the problem from the report, according to Katelynn Richardson of the Daily Caller Courts Report.
In a delayed April article, ABC News detailed Cohen’s TikTok exercise and how it might cause problems for prosecutors during the test:
Cohen has discussed Trump, the continuing test, and the evidence that is already taking the witness stand while awaiting his turn to appear on TikTok’s overnight live streams, which appear to be giving him money, according to time of his streams that ABC News watched.
Experts claim that the task damages an now tarnished trust of an important witness in the case despite it not seeming to violate any court orders.
” I’d been furious”, said ABC News contributor and former Georgia attorney Chris Timmons. The last thing a attorney wants to do is discuss the case in a room other than the courtroom.
Blanche even asked Cohen if he had commented about jury selection, drawing an objection from prosecution, which Merchan sustained, per the Inner City Press.
Trump’s attorney Blanche: Lanny Davis, your attorney, do you remember him saying collection prosecutors to survey to the best?
Prosecutor Hoffinger: Objection!
Justice Merchan: Suffered.
Blanche: Do you recall the prosecutor’s outcry over the media release you leaked?
A: Little— Inner City Press ( @innercitypress ) May 14, 2024
Cohen more asserted that he was called and that Blanche, who had spoken to him about opinions he had made about it on TikTok, had been informed that David Pecker’s evidence supported him.
