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.'
