Michael Cohen has drawn scrutiny because of concerns that he is not a credible witness in former President Donald Trump’s hush money case, but a report that Cohen has profited from criticizing his former client during the trial has further complicated his role in the case.
Cohen, a star witness for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, mentioned Trump in livestreams as recently as last week on TikTok, a popular Chinese-owned app on which Cohen has roughly 290,000 followers.
Cohen’s livestreams last hours and attract thousands of listeners, and users who engage with the livestreams sometimes send him donations while he is talking about Trump in the form of TikTok “gifts,” which have financial value, according to an investigative report by ABC News.
“Trump 2024? … More like Trump 20-24 years,” Cohen reportedly said Tuesday night on a livestream.
Cohen, who has been outspoken about his grievances with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, is expected to testify in the trial as the witness with the most direct involvement in and knowledge about Trump’s alleged criminal hush money activity. Cohen has, however, raised eyebrows even for Democratic-aligned legal analysts for speaking so antagonistically about Trump.
