Cohen TikTok Videos, Fundraising May Have Hurt Trump Prosecution

Legal specialists have been sounding the alarm that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s TikTok fundraising movies might have “torpedoed” New York’s prosecution of the previous president.

This previous Sunday, ABC News published an article about how Michael Cohen “cashing in on the Trump trial with TikTok livestreams could be a problem.”

As he awaits his flip to take the witness stand, Cohen has mentioned Trump, the continuing trial, and the testimony already underway throughout nightly livestreams on TikTok which look like incomes him monetary profit by way of viewers’ donations, in accordance with hours of his streams seen by ABC News.

And whereas the endeavor doesn’t seem to run afoul of any court docket order, specialists say it hurts the already-blemished credibility of an important witness within the case.

“I’d be furious,” stated ABC News contributor and former Georgia prosecutor Chris Timmons. “As a prosecutor, the last thing you want your witness to do is to be talking about the case in a forum other than the courtroom.”

TikTok permits viewers to donate “gifts” that may be transformed into money as they watch folks’s livestreams.

Speaking with Fox News, former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy known as Cohen’s antics a “major problem for prosecutors.”

” It will not be an issue for Cohen’s credibility as a result of he has none — he’s a convicted perjurer and fraudster whose present ‘defense’ of his fraud convictions is that he wasn’t telling the reality when he pled responsible,” stated McCarthy.

Even disgraced legal professional Michael Avenatti lamented that Cohen might have destroyed the prosecution’s case.

“Michael Cohen through his narcissism and his ego may have just torpedoed the case against Trump,” Avenatti informed Fox News from federal jail.

“Never underestimate this guy’s ability to screw something up due to his ignorance and arrogance. He’s dumber than a box of rocks. The state can’t win the case without him and because of his conduct in reviewing trial testimony in violation of the court’s order, which [he] just admitted to when speaking with ABC, the court must strike him as a witness, declare a mistrial, or both,” Avenatti continued. “He had no business commenting on other witnesses’ testimony.”

Cornell Law School professor William A. Jacobson concurred that Cohen’s habits might show pricey.

“Profiting off the trial adds another conflict to that pile. Whether it’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back when it comes to the jury remains to be seen, but it certainly is fodder for cross-examination,” Jacobson informed Fox News/

Cohen informed ABC News that he would cease with the livestreams.

“I am not the defendant in this criminal matter and am not the subject of Judge Merchan’s gag order. Donald is. Nevertheless, I elected, out of respect to the court and the prosecutors, to cease commenting on Trump and this matter; which I have done,” Cohen stated.

The New York prosecution has not commented on the matter.

As Breitbart News reported, New York County Judge Juan Merchan has dominated this week that “former President Donald Trump violated a gag order during his trial, holding him in criminal contempt and threatening him with jail time for any further infractions.”
