Michael Cohen got sweet payback on Todd Blanche, the attorney who defended convicted felon Donald Trump in his Manhattan hush money and election interference trial by branding him with a new nickname that has quickly gone viral on social media.
Speaking with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, Cohen was asked about a term Blanche used in his closing statement, calling Trump’s former fixer the GLOAT or “greatest liar of all time.”
Cohen responded, “It’s a Donald Trump fourth-grade playground bullying type of tactic.”
“I was going to call him a SLOAT, which is the stupidest lawyer of all time,” Cohen added. “You cannot listen to your client when you are trying to create a defense ― a defense that is as important as this one is.”
Video of Cohen’s comments has been viewed on Twitter nearly 132,000 times in just a bit over 12 hours since it was first posted, along with plenty of comments of praise for him.
