michael cohen is the key witness in this investigation. he was donald trump's former lawyer and fixer, the one who paid that initial $130,000 to stormy daniels, and yet, as the u.s. attorney's office in the southern district of new york laid out in its own case against michael cohen in 2018, they repeatedly noted that he had a pattern of deception. that over the course of years he had consistently lied at the benefit of not only donald trump but also himself. he also was found guilty as part of his plea agreement in 2018 to lying to congress in 2017. even a judge in march of 2020 rejected his plea to have his sentencing reduced saying that after his initial sentencing that he had continued to offer misleading and false statements. all of that said, michael cohen pushes back hard against this, essentially making the case that he since then, since his guilty plea has testified hundreds of hours under oath to the new york attorney general's office, to the manhattan district attorney's office, to the special counselor, robert mueller's probe.
