Washington, D.C. – In a dramatic turn of events, former attorney to President Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, has been accused of lying on the witness stand by his own former lawyer.
The bombshell accusation came during the highly-publicized trial regarding hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016.
Cohen, who has already been convicted for tax evasion and campaign finance violations related to these payments, has been a key witness in the case against his former boss.
However, according to his former attorney, Jay Johnson, Cohen may not be telling the truth under oath.
“Mr. Cohen has a long history of dishonesty and deceit,” Johnson stated in an exclusive interview with The Washington Times. “I can no longer sit idly by and watch him continue to manipulate the legal system with lies.”
Johnson went on to accuse Cohen of fabricating evidence and perjuring himself on the stand.
“Mr. Cohen is willing to do whatever it takes to save himself from prison time,” Johnson continued. “Even if it means throwing innocent people under the bus.”
These explosive allegations have rocked the already contentious trial and cast doubt on the credibility of one of its main witnesses.
And while some may view this as a desperate attempt by Johnson to discredit his former client, others see it as further evidence of Cohen’s lack of integrity.
“Michael Cohen has always been a snake in the grass,” said conservative commentator and Trump supporter, Sean Hannity. “It’s clear that he will stop at nothing to save his own skin, even if it means dragging others down with him.”
Critics of Cohen have long pointed to his past actions and associations as proof of his untrustworthiness. From his involvement with Russian oligarchs to his years of working for the Trump Organization, Cohen has been surrounded by controversy.
And now, with these new accusations from his own lawyer, it seems that his credibility is once again being called into question.
Despite this latest twist in the trial, supporters of President Trump remain confident in his innocence and continue to stand by him.
“Anyone who believes the words of a convicted liar like Michael Cohen needs their head examined,” stated Republican National Committee spokesperson Liz Harrington. “President Trump has been exonerated time and time again, and this is just another desperate attempt by the left to smear him.”
As the trial continues and more details come to light, one thing is certain: Michael Cohen’s reputation continues to crumble under the weight of his own actions. And with each new accusation against him, it becomes increasingly clear that he cannot be trusted as a reliable witness.
Whether or not these allegations will have any impact on the outcome of the trial remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure – Michael Cohen’s days as a reputable attorney are long gone.
