'I took some credit': Cohen confirms he bragged about role in Trump indictment, praised arrest
Michael Cohen said in court Thursday that he "took some credit" for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office's 34-count indictment of former President Donald Trump.
Trump lawyer Todd Blanche played a clip in court of Cohen saying during a 2020 podcast interview, "I absolutely hope he ends up in prison..."
Asked by Blanche whether he believes he played a role in Trump's indictment from New York prosecutors, Cohen responded, "I took some credit."
Blanche then asked Cohen if there are other similar podcasts where he called Trump names. He responds, “correct” and confirms it has continued even during the trial.
Asked by Blanche whether he referred to Trump as “dumb*ss Donald," Cohen confirmed.
Cohen also said Thursday that he has never met Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
During a May 2023 podcast, Cohen praised Bragg and the case brought against Trump, saying, “I wanna thank the DA’s office and fearless leader Alvin Bragg ... for countless hours of laying out payments and crimes ... Trump having his picture taken and fingerprinted brings me nothing but delight ..."
That audio was played for those in court on Thursday.
