If you tuned in to Michael Cohen’s testimony this morning, you likely caught the moment when Rep. Jim Jordan, a Republican from Ohio, pressed Cohen on whether or not he “wanted to work in the White House,” with the implication being that Cohen was testifying against Trump in bitter resentment over not being given a place in the administration.
In full, Jordan said: “Here’s what I see. I see a guy who worked for 10 years and is here trashing the guy he worked for for 10 years, didn’t get a job in the White House, and now you’re behaving just like everyone else who’s got fired or didn’t get the job they wanted—like Andy McCabe, like James Comey. Same kind of selfish motivation after you don’t get the thing you want. That’s what I see here today.”
Cohen denied this accusation pretty vehemently, saying, “All I wanted was what I got: to be the personal attorney to the president, to enjoy the senior year of my son in high school, and waiting for my daughter who is graduating from college to come back to New York.”
Like father, like sons: The Trump boys took to Twitter to share their sentiments on Jordan’s implication.
