What the DA's Office is Just Now Learning about Michael Cohen

Law of the Case

President Trump's motion to dismiss the New York hush money case for an alleged failure to disclose information about the star witness Michael Cohen revealed that the DA's office did not have the full story on Cohen when it indicted the case. The DA's office only received part of the documents it wanted from the federal prosecutors who had previously charged Cohen and had refused to charge Trump. It was only after Trump subpoenaed the U.S. Attorney's office that Trump--and the DA's office--got all the potential impeachment information on Cohen. Former 23-year DOJ criminal prosecutor Alex Grant explains why time pressure probably led the DA's office to take the risky step of charging the case and waiting to see what else there was that could damage Cohen's credibility.
