Blanche repeatedly asked Cohen whether he hoped he would be offered a position in the White House once Trump took office in 2017.
Blanche asked Cohen twice whether he “really wanted” to work in the White House, to which Cohen responded “no sir.’
“You hoped that you would be named the White House chief of staff, not just be considered, but be named the White House chief of staff?” Blanche said.
“No, sir,” Cohen responded.

Cohen's cross-examination stays away from hush money deals
Most of Trump attorney Todd Blanche’s cross-examination has comprised him bringing up instances where he believes Cohen has lied over the years.
But Blanche has not asked Cohen any questions today so far about the hush money deals or the alleged reimbursement scheme at the center of Trump’s case.
