'He's a felon,' Trump says of Cohen
Trump called his former lawyer Michael Cohen a "proven liar" and "felon" as Trump entered the courtroom for his civil trial this morning.
"He's a felon, served a lot of time for lying, and we're just going to go in and see and I think you'll see that for yourself," Trump told reporters outside court.

Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to two separate criminal cases and eventually spent more than 13 months in prison -- but said that it was Trump who caused him to "follow a path of darkness."
