'He is a con artist': Michael Cohen trolled for defying prosecutors as he continues posting on social media amid Trump hush money case

WASHINGTON, DC: A revelation in court on Friday, May 10, brought into the limelight that Michael Cohen defied Manhattan prosecutors' "repeated" requests to stay quiet about the hush money case by posting more bizarre TikToks, including one in which he depicted Donald Trump inside prison, the New York Post stated.

Following Cohen's appearance on the social media platform on the evening of Wednesday, May 8th, donning an anti-Trump shirt, Trump's legal team presented their case to Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, contending that Cohen ought to be restrained in a similar manner to their client.

Michael Cohen posts on TikTok despite pleas from prosecutors

Following the dismissal of the jury for the day in the criminal trial, Todd Blanche, Trump's attorney, commented on the video, noting, "He’s wearing a white T-shirt with a picture of President Trump behind bars."

He added, "It’s becoming a problem every single day that President Trump is not allowed to respond to this witness, but this witness has continued to talk."

Remarkably, despite the prosecution's pleas for Cohen to maintain silence about the case, the witness has chosen to speak out despite their appeals.

Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass responded to Blanche's request for the judge to extend the gag order to prevent Cohen from discussing the allegations, stating, "We’ve repeatedly, repeatedly asked the witnesses not to do that. The fact of the matter is, these witnesses are not subject to the gag order and we have no remedy if they engage in those activities."

Moreover, Merchan instructed prosecutors to "communicate to Mr. Cohen — yet again — that the judge is asking him to refrain from making any more statements about this case" or about Trump at the request of Trump's attorneys.

The judge said, "That comes from the bench and you are communicating that on behalf of the bench."

The directive aligns with Cohen's anticipated testimony on Monday, May 13th, during which he is expected to address his role in facilitating a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to silence her allegations of a sexual encounter with the Republican figure before the 2016 election, purportedly at Trump's behest.

Remarkably, the court's gag order prohibits Trump from criticizing Cohen, resulting in a $10,000 penalty for publicly defaming Daniels, his former fixer, and the entire jury.

Internet trolls Michael Cohen for posting on TikTok despite pleas from prosecutors

A person also said, "Trying to be convicted of a lesser crime," while one added, "Maybe saving Trump, couldn't do it.."
