I love the idea that Michael Cohen (the other one) spent years breaking the law on behalf of Donald Trump (and himself) but suddenly woke up in 2018, turned on the TV, saw Trump and accusingly blurted out “It was you. It was you the whole time” https://t.co/cnutXM3Kk9

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
