Dan Goldman: The Cohen Plea Implicates the President in a Way the Manafort Trial Simply Did Not

‘The Cohen plea implicates the president in a way that the Manafort trial simply did not, at least this trial’

EXCERPT:

GOLDMAN: "The Cohen plea implicates the President in a way that the Manafort trial simply did not, at least this trial. But what strikes me, Mika, is that in a technical term, the way that us prosecutors would view it, and I was in the Southern District for ten years, Michael Cohen did not flip. He is not a cooperating witness. He has not reached a cooperation agreement with the prosecutors to cooperate and to testify against anyone else who may have committed crimes either with him or that he knows about. And that is very unusual given the fact that, as Lanny Davis just says, Michael Cohen is willing to speak to Mueller, he is willing to speak to the Southern District. I’m a little perplexed."
