Joshua Steinglass, describing how Michael Cohen discussed having pleaded guilty to federal crimes, hews very close to the trial transcript. When Steinglass's colleague Susan Hoffinger questioned Cohen about those pleas, she made sure to ask him if he had committed crimes at Trump’s behest. Cohen said that he had, and Steinglass just read significant portions of that testimony aloud, πbefore pivoting to Trump’s tweets blasting Cohen shortly after he pleaded guilty.
