Donald Trump's former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen is interviewed on ABC News'"Good Morning America" on March 31, 2023.A lawyer for the New York Attorney General previewed Cohen's testimony in the state's opening statement as key evidence of a conspiracy within the Trump Organization to inflate the former president's net worth.
"Mr. Trump would call Allen and I into the office … He wanted to be higher on the Forbes list, and he then said 'I'm actually not worth $6 billion. I'm worth seven. In fact, I think it's actually now worth eight with everything that's going on,'" Cohen said in a portion of his deposition that was played during the state's opening statement.
The former president has denied all wrongdoing and his attorneys have argued that Trump's alleged inflated valuations were a product of his business skill.Cohen wrote about his ongoing medical issues in his book "Revenge," describing multiple pulmonary embolisms as a result of deep vein thrombosis as well as high blood pressure, which he said worsened during his 13-month prison sentence.
"I don't get cold feet. No one has stood up for truth to power more than me. I have a pre-existing medical issue that unfortunately needs to be attended to," Cohen said on X defending the delay.
