Michael Cohen Admits Lying On Bank Account Paperwork

Michael Cohen departs home to testify in Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York

In a recent court proceeding, the jury was presented with paperwork revealing that Michael Cohen had opened a bank account for Resolution Consultants, LLC. The documents showed that Cohen had filled out the form indicating that the account was for a management consulting company.

However, Cohen admitted that he had provided false information on the paperwork. He stated that he was unsure if the bank would have approved the account if he had disclosed the true purpose, which was to pay off an adult film star for a nondisclosure agreement.
