Another of Michael Cohen’s lies has come to light following a revelation made by former CNN Anchor Chris Cuomo.
Cohen is set to testify in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s ongoing criminal case against former president Donald Trump. Cohen, a convicted felon and the prosecution’s star witness, will testify against the former president and his testimony could go a long way in deciding Trump’s fate.

Despite Cohen’s importance to the case, many legal experts have argued that the convicted felon lacks credibility. Cuomo, who now hosts the “Cuomo” show on NewsNation, joined those voices raising concern about Cohen’s credibility.
While speaking on Tuesday’s episode of his show, Cuomo told criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos and former New York federal prosecutor Paul Callan that Cohen had told him a different version of events from what he intends to say in court.

“I hope I don’t get hauled into court. But I remember Cohen giving me different versions of this story of what happened. The guy told me that Melania [Trump] had no idea that this was going on, and then he would flip his story and say that she knew everything. I don’t know how you hang a case on the guy, to be honest,” Cuomo said.
Earlier in the show, Cuomo said Cohen’s testimony was the only thing that mattered to him. He, however, insisted that it is strange that the convicted felon has now become a “darlin” of the left.
“I think there are a lot of shady things that happen everywhere, but gentlemen I’ll tell you this,” Cuomo stated. “Cohen is the only thing that matters to me in this case. One I don’t know how the prosecutor leans on a guy that has such credibility issues. I know the political left has decided to make him a darling, but that’s a really, really strange choice in my opinion.”
Adult film star Stormy Daniels, another main witness for the prosecutor, testified on Tuesday. Many legal experts have argued that her testimony was unnecessary and only worked in former President Trump’s favor.
