Cohen: I Decided to Turn Against Trump After Seeing How He Was Hurting ‘Civility’
EXCERPT:
COOPER: “Mr. Cohen, several times in your testimony, you state the bad things you did for Mr. Trump. And at some point, you apparently changed your course of action. There is a recurring refrain in your testimony that says, and yet, I continued to work for him. But at some point, you changed. What was the breaking point at which you decided to start telling the truth?”
COHEN: “There is several factors: Helsinki, Charlottesville, watching the daily destruction of our civility to one another, putting up silly things like this --"
COOPER: "Well. that's silly."
COHEN: "-- really unbecoming of Congress. It's that sort of behavior that I’m responsible for. I’m responsible for your silliness, because I did the same thing you are doing now for ten years. I protected Mr. Trump for ten years.”
