How Cohen tried sweet-talking Trump into making him 'personal attorney to the president'
By Kyle Schnitzer

Cohen said he pitched Trump on being the personal attorney to the president, and even brought in another lawyer to help sweet talk Trump into giving him the role.

“He went through this pitch explaining the importance and necessity of having a personal attorney for his own protection and why I fit exactly that role," Cohen testified.

Trump had his eyes closed during Cohen's speech, as he has several times throughout his former attorney's testimony.

Cohen said he didn't not "expect to be compensated" for the role and did not discuss compensation.

Pressure builds on DOJ to answer if ‘collusion’ marred Trump hush money case

Pressure is building on the Biden administration to put up records that may “indicate collusion” between the Justice Department and state prosecutors in the hush money case against former President Donald Trump in Manhattan, with several Republicans at various levels of government seeking documents, including through a new investigation launched by West Virginia on Monday.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, a Trump ally, submitted a Freedom of Information Act request on Monday to the DOJ asking it to produce documents concerning an ex-DOJ employee’s transition to employment by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, which is prosecuting Trump in the 34-count hush money case.
“We need to get to the bottom of this political prosecution of a former president who is on track to defeat the incumbent in November,” Morrisey said in a statement to the Washington Examiner, referring to the other three indictments Trump faces as he seeks another run for the presidency.

Morrisey said he believes the alleged collusion is demonstrated in part by the move of the third-highest ranking DOJ official, Matthew Colangelo, to the district attorney’s office to help prosecute the criminal case, New York v. Trump, according to a letter he penned to Attorney General Merrick Garland. The West Virginia attorney general also noted Colangelo was “paid thousands of dollars by the Democratic National Committee.”

“The timing on these cases is suspect, to say the least — the integrity of our country’s election process is at stake,” Morrisey said. His new FOIA request falls on the same day the Trump hush money trial entered its 16th day of witness testimony, featuring testimony from star witness Michael Cohen.

That is one of the spookiest most gruesome scenes of any movie I've ever watched. She really did a great job of scary the heck out of me. Nothing else that scary...except when the little boy is out in the water and the sheriff hones in on the shark.
