Michael Cohen named three Trump Organization employees who could now face more questions from Congress
Under questioning by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, Trump's former personal attorney and fixer pointed to three little-known Trump Organization officials who could have knowledge of potential crimes. Cohen replied"yes" when Ocasio-Cortez asked him if he had knowledge of Trump providing"inflated assets to an insurance company." Asked who else knows Trump did this, Cohen said:"Allen Weisselberg, Ron Lieberman and Matthew Calamari.
Weisselberg was quick to pounce, threatening to tell the other client about the mistake unless the firm offered a 50% discount on the outstanding bills. The matter was eventually resolved, but it reveals how the quiet accountant from Brooklyn didn't shy away from bare-knuckle tactics in business.
