Trump attorneys accuse Cohen of lying about call with Trump about Stormy Daniels
Trump lawyer Todd Blanche drew the court's attention to text exchanges and a phone call between Michael Cohen and Keith Schiller, Donald Trump's former bodyguard, on Oct. 24, 2016.
Cohen confirmed he called Schiller that evening. Blanche asked if Cohen testified the call was to speak with Trump about the Stormy deal. Cohen confirmed.
In a text, Cohen asked Schiller who he can speak with about harassing calls from an alleged 14-year-old prankster. Schiller responded, “Call me.”
Cohen testified Tuesday that the Oct. 24 phone call, which lasted for one minute and 36 seconds, was made to Schiller to talk to Trump.
Blanche asked if the testimony on Tuesday was a lie because Cohen said then that he called to speak with Trump.
Cohen said, “Part of it was the 14-year-old ... but I know Keith was with Mr. Trump."
Blanche again accuses Cohen of lying and insists he never spoke with Trump that day.
Cohen responded, “I always ran everything by the boss immediately."
"That was a lie, you did not talk to President Trump,” Blanche said.
“I’m not certain that’s accurate,” Cohen responded.
Cohen maintains, based on the records that he was able to review, that he spoke with Schiller but also believes he spoke with Trump about the Stormy Daniels deal.
"We’re not asking what you believe," Blanche responded.
