Michael Dean Cohen is an American lawyer and spokesperson to American pres, Donald Trump. Cohen and Mr President go way back- prior to this appointment he served as the executive Vice President of the Trump Organisation as well as special council to Trump. He also was the co-president of Trump Entertainment as well as a board member of the Eric Trump Foundation (this is a children”s health charity).
Cohen has been a subject of investigation by the FBI for bank fraud, wire fraud and campaign finance violations and also payments made to Stormy Daniels. Stormy Daniels (who is now helping with the Cohen investigation) is an adult film star who recently came out alleging that she had an affair with Trump, and was threatened and paid a hefty $130 000 to keep quiet just a month before the 2016 elections. Michael has since come out in a statement saying the money he paid Stormy with came out of his pocket, it had nothing to do with the President, the campaign or campaign expenditures or contributions, and that he has not been reimbursed either directly or indirectly. He says the payment was in every way lawful.
WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. raided the Rockefeller Center office and Park Avenue hotel room and seized business records, emails and documents.Donald Trump lashed out in anger saying that that the FBI ”broke into” Cohen’s office and accusing them of being on a witch hunt. “It’s a disgrace, it’s frankly a real disgrace. It’s an attack on our country in a true sense. It’s an attack on what we all stand for,” was the president’s remark after the raid. Cohen has since responded to this saying that the FBI were professional, courteous and respectful. And the FBI did have a warrant which makes everything about this ‘raid’ anything but unlawful.
