Michael Cohen Admits to Stealing $30,000 from Trump Organization

Michael Cohen, former attorney for Donald Trump, admitted in court on Monday that he stole tens of thousands of dollars from the Trump Organization. During cross-examination by Trump's attorney, Todd Blanche, Cohen confessed to inflating reimbursement requests for IT services. Specifically, Cohen claimed $50,000 for services that only cost $20,000, pocketing the $30,000 difference. This admission occurred during Cohen's testimony in a trial related to hush money payments. Cohen's credibility as a witness has been significantly undermined by this revelation, as he is already a convicted felon and has a history of perjury.
