It took the FBI two years to give Michael Cohen 32 pages about its Stormy Daniels hush money investigation. When Trump came knocking, the feds quickly found 200,000.
But what was unknown—until now—is that the Justice Department had been holding back similar records from public disclosure for years.
Michael Cohen and his attorney Danya Perry arrive at Trump's civil fraud trial at New York State Supreme Court on October 25, 2023 in New York City.By comparison, SDNY—that very same week—had just sent a whopping 73,193 documents about the same investigation in Trump’s direction.
Indeed, Blanche filed a formal request to SDNY on Jan. 22. One month later, the politically appointed top federal prosecutor at the office, Damian Williams, wrote aauthorizing the release of those records to the DA, so they could be reviewed and promptly handed over to the Trump legal team., expressed his frustration that the DOJ had worked so hard to slow down him and Cohen—but kicked into high gear when the former president came knocking.
“Michael Cohen is a convicted, repeated perjurer and compulsive liar. Nothing he says can be taken as anything other than fiction. Just yesterday a federal judge refused to reduce his supervised release sentence because he continues to lie and cheat the system, including lying on the stand in the NYAG case and his A.I.-generated legal brief. No ethical prosecutor or judge can use Cohen’s testimony in any case,” Cheung said.
