During his testimony, Michael Cohen revealed details about an encounter with Donald Trump where he was offered a job after inquiring about a $100,000 bill for work he had done for Trump Entertainment Resorts. Cohen shared that Trump asked him if he was happy at his current firm and then surprised him by offering him a position as EVP of Trump Org. and special counsel to Donald J. Trump. Cohen expressed feeling honored and taken aback by the offer.
According to Cohen, Trump made it clear that in this role, Cohen would report directly to him and work on issues that were important to Trump. However, despite the job offer, Trump never paid Cohen for the work he had done for Trump Entertainment Resorts. Cohen recalled Trump's response when asked about the unpaid bill, stating that Trump jokingly asked if Cohen wanted to be fired on his first day if he brought up the issue.
This testimony sheds light on the dynamics of the relationship between Cohen and Trump, highlighting Trump's approach to business dealings and employment offers. The revelation of Trump's offer to Cohen, coupled with the lack of payment for services rendered, adds another layer to the complex interactions between the two individuals.
