Donald Trump’s top lawyer had trouble stomaching a hard truth presented to him on CNN Wednesday.

When host Brianna Keilar brought up that new additions to Trump’s staff were being perceived as a shake-up, given how poorly the GOP nominee was doing in the polls, Trump Organization special counsel Michael Cohen did not want to believe such polls existed.

“You guys are down,” Keilar began.

“Says who?” Cohen interjected

“Polls…most of them…all of them?” Keilar went on.

What followed was an exchange, punctuated by plenty of awkward silences, in which Cohen continued to dog Keilar on whether any such polls actually existed.

  2. That is simply the best. The interviewer’s response/expression is what makes it gold.

  3. From which strip mall law school did he graduate?

  5. Mr. Cohen got one thing right, imho:

    “People are seeing through the nonsense”.
