Trump went after Michael Cohen this morning for taping him as a client, asking what kind of lawyer would tape a client?
What kind of a lawyer would tape a client? So sad! Is this a first, never heard of it before? Why was the tape so abruptly terminated (cut) while I was presumably saying positive things? I hear there are other clients and many reporters that are taped - can this be so? Too bad!

Trump’s clearly defending himself by saying the tape was cut while he was saying ‘positive things’. Meaning what Giuliani said last night, that Trump was saying that they shouldn’t pay in cash, but with a check.
Interestingly, while Trump does go after Cohen, he doesn’t go all in on him. He’s actually rather delicate about it, which makes me think he doesn’t want to upset his former lawyer too much and turn Cohen against him.
