In eye-opening testimony at Donald Trump’s hush-money trial in Manhattan on Monday, former Trump fixer Michael Cohen said from the witness stand that his ex-boss “never had an email address” because he knew that “prosecutors” salivate over paper trails.

The morning question-and-answer session largely involved Cohen describing his time working as a lawyer for Trump, answerable only to him. At times, according to courtroom accounts of what was said, he even spoke glowingly about the “amazing experience” it was in “many ways.” But Cohen’s relationship with Trump began to fracture forever when the feds raided the disgraced attorney’s proprieties and Cohen went to federal prison for tax evasion, bank fraud and campaign finance violations and his role in trying to cover up the Stormy Daniels dalliance — which he said was at the direction of and to the benefit of “Individual-1.”
