Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Trump attorneys argued both the Manhattan prosecutors and federal attorneys "treated the subpoena as ineffectual" and that the timeline is evidence that prosecutors did not "diligently" seek to obtain the exculpatory evidence they were required to produce, as they have claimed.
18% : Mr. Cohen, formerly a personal attorney to President Trump, claimed he was paid to kill a news story during then-candidate Trump's 2016 campaign and to pay off an adult actress alleging an affair.
17% : The defense argues the only payments made to Mr. Cohen were attorney fees, and President Trump has denied all wrongdoing.
12% : During that trial, Mr. Cohen also acknowledged that his primary source of income was related to criticizing President Trump.
7% : Attorneys for President Trump have argued that Mr. Cohen should be impeached as a witness, and that the defense should be allowed to show evidence regarding Mr. Cohen's own admissions of lying under oath, which were made as recently as fall of 2023 in the civil fraud trial against President Trump.
