Michael Cohen, former lawyer for Donald Trump and star witness in the former president’s hush money trial, released a statement on Trump’s guilty verdict in the case.

Known as Trump’s fixer, Cohen had paid porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about her alleged 2006 sexual encounter with the former president. On Thursday, Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up the hush money payment. Cohen was previously sentenced to three years in prison for tax evasion and lying to Congress.
