Michael Cohen's crisis response to Wall Street Journal's McDougal bombshell: blame 'Clinton machine'
Cohen testified about how key figures responded to a Wall Street Journal report that blew open the Karen McDougal story, after spending hours speaking about his role in 'catch and kill' matters.
Hope Hicks, who testified earlier, emailed Cohen with some proposed responses, which Cohen tersely described as an effort to 'deny.' She called the story 'false' and wanted to call out a 'publicity hungry individual.'
'We have nothing to do with this final attempt by the liberal elite to disparage Donald Trump and stop this historic movement,' was one of HIcks' proposed responses, just hours before the election.
Cohen wrote back with his preferred language
'Instead, say these accusations are completely untrue and just the latest despicable attempt by the liberal media and the Clinton machine to distract the public …' Cohen advised.
Asked if Trump was angry during this frantic period of damage control that could surface the Stormy Daniels story, Cohen said 'Yes. Because there was a negative story that could impact the campaign as a result of women.'

Cohen disappointed Trump didn't consider him for Chief of Staff position
Michael Cohen said he was disappointed that Donald Trump didn't consider him for his Chief of Staff role in the White House.
Trump didn't offer him the position, and Cohen even admitted he didn't "believe" the role was the right fit, but he just wanted his name included with other candidates.
“I had other ideas for myself that I wanted but I wanted to be considered. It was more about my ego than anything," Cohen said.
