Cohen’s prospects took a turn for the worse in the final few minutes before lunch break, when Blanche point-blank accused Cohen of lying when he testified Tuesday that he had called Trump’s bodyguard, Keith Schiller, on Oct. 24, 2016, to discuss the matter of paying porn star Stormy Daniels.
“That was a lie,” Blanche nearly shouted at Cohen. “You did not talk to President Trump on that night,” Blanche said. “You talked to Keith Schiller.”
Blanche pointed to text messages Cohen sent minutes before the call asking how he should handle a 14-year-old’s harassing phone calls to him, to which Schiller responded “call me.”
Cohen said he believed he also spoke to Trump. Blanche pushed back, asking how that was possible on a call that only lasted a minute and 36 seconds.
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley noted the portion of Cohen’s testimony was a possible point of perjury.
With that the case died. Although it should be pointed out that there is nothing illegal about a campaign paying to have damaging information suppressed. Unless you're the orange man.
