Michael Cohen Views Himself As David Against Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen exits a hotel in New York

During a recent court proceeding, Trump attorney Todd Blanche referenced Michael Cohen's appearance on a particular date after the indictment of the former president. Cohen had described the situation as a David versus Goliath scenario, with himself being David and Trump being Goliath.

Blanche pointed out a specific statement made by Cohen on March 30, 2023, where Cohen mentioned having 'Goliath on his back' before the indictment was unsealed. Cohen confirmed this statement when questioned by Blanche, indicating that he indeed viewed himself as David and Trump as Goliath in the legal battle.

Following this confirmation, Blanche sought permission to approach the bench once again, presumably to further discuss or clarify the implications of Cohen's characterization of the situation. However, Judge Merchan declined the request, indicating that the proceedings would not be interrupted for further discussion at that moment.
