Are Donald Trump’s lawyers worried about Michael Cohen’s power as a prosecution witness? That’s one way to look at a bombastic letter they wrote to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The defense letter complains that Bragg’s office prosecuted former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg for perjury at the same time it intends to put Cohen on the stand against Trump.
And the defense will have the opportunity to cross-examine Cohen, who, to be sure, has a criminal history that a defense lawyer would want to explore in front of a jury. But it’s that jury that will determine the credibility of Trump’s former fixer in this case, as Engoron did in the civil case. Crucial to Engoron’s credibility finding was the corroboration of Cohen’s testimony by other evidence at trial.
