Opinion: It’s a Bad Week to Be Named Michael Cohen. Trust Me, I Know.
If there is one good thing about having the same name as Donald Trump’s former fixer, it is that I can confidently assert that I will likely never be the worst “Michael Cohen.”
Other than that, working as a political columnist and sharing a name with a convicted felon—who previously worked for Donald Trump, spent time in federal prison, and, according to a recent article in The Washington Post, is universally unliked—has been less than optimal.
As Cohen testifies this week in a New York City courtroom about his involvement in the payment of hush money to former porn star and alleged Trump paramour Stormy Daniels, the struggle continues.
