During the ongoing court proceedings, Michael Cohen, former attorney to Donald Trump, has been presented with text messages he sent to a New York Times reporter back in February 2018. In the messages, Cohen mentioned that the 'big boss' had approved him to respond to a complaint and statement. It has been confirmed that the term 'big boss' was indeed a reference to Trump.
Cohen expressed his intention to share the information with the reporter first so that she could have the exclusive story. The text messages were sent to the reporter, who was present in court during the testimony.
As Cohen recounted the details of the text messages, Trump, who was also in attendance, was observed with his eyes closed. The exchange sheds light on the communication dynamics between Cohen and Trump during that period.
