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.

Jerry Nadler, who has represented a big piece of Manhattan since 1992, is one of the longest-serving Jewish members of the House. He’s also a Columbia University alumnus: he was on campus in 1968 when police cleared Hamilton Hall of anti-Vietnam war protesters. Nadler is a close observer of the Middle East and the politics of Israel in the U.S. And he’s the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, where he’s long seen himself as a champion of civil liberties. All of this background helped put Nadler at the center of a swirl of events this week as pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia were ejected from Hamilton Hall, as President Biden made his first public remarks about campus protests, as a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel seemed tantalizingly close and as the House passed, by an overwhelming majority of 320 to 91, the Antisemitism Awareness Act — a bill against which Nadler led the oppositio by Playbook Deep Dive
