Description

Michael Cohen may be the only person standing between Donald Trump and
jail. Three of Trump’s four criminal trials — the ones in Washington,
Florida and Georgia — seem hopelessly stalled. But on this coming Monday
in New York, the hush money case is set to begin.

Deep Dive guest and former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen is the star
witness in the case. On this episode, he joins host and Playbook
co-author Ryan Lizza to discuss how he will defend the assault on his
credibility at the trial, why Alvin Bragg’s case is stronger than
analysts believe, the legal tactics he’s expecting from Trump’s team and
whether he ever regrets breaking with Trump.

Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO.
Michael Cohen is Donald Trump's former lawyer and fixer.
Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio. 
Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio.
