Michael Cohen Testifies To Meeting With Special Counsel Before Prison

Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen has revealed that he met with special counsel Robert Mueller's office multiple times before beginning his prison sentence. Cohen's initial meeting with the special counsel's office took place in 2018, prior to his guilty plea. During this meeting, Cohen admitted that he was not entirely truthful due to his loyalty to President Trump at the time.

Following his guilty plea, Cohen claims that he provided honest and accurate testimony in subsequent meetings with Mueller's team. This shift in approach suggests that Cohen's loyalty to the President waned as legal proceedings progressed.

The revelation of Cohen's multiple interactions with Mueller's office sheds light on the complex dynamics at play within the Trump administration and its legal entanglements. Cohen's willingness to cooperate with the special counsel's investigation indicates a potential turning point in his relationship with President Trump and his commitment to the truth.

As the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election continues to unfold, Cohen's testimony may serve as a crucial piece of evidence in understanding the extent of any wrongdoing within the Trump campaign. His cooperation with Mueller's team underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in upholding the rule of law.
