In the wake of revelations from Michael Cohen, the star witness in Trump’s hush money trial, even CNN has conceded that Trump might not be as culpable as previously thought. Cohen admitted to stealing $60,000 from Trump, which the network’s senior legal analyst noted was a significant discrepancy from simply falsifying business records.
This confession, the analyst explained, highlighted a more serious crime of larceny that Cohen was never charged with, raising questions about the integrity of the prosecution’s case against Trump.
Commentators like Sara Gonzales and Jaco Booyens have expressed surprise and skepticism about CNN’s unexpected honesty regarding Cohen’s credibility. Gonzales emphasized Cohen’s history of perjury and fraud, questioning the reliability of his testimony.
