fucking disgusting. You understand me?’ ‘You write a story that has Mr. Trump’s name in it, with the word ‘rape,’ and I’m going to mess your life up…for as long as you’re on this frickin’ planet…you’re going to have judgments against you, so much money, you’ll never know how to get out from underneath it,’ he added.” [Daily Beast, 7/27/15] COHEN APOLOGIZED FOR SAYING “YOU CANNOT RAPE YOUR SPOUSE” Michael Cohen, Special Counsel To Trump, Apologized For Saying “You Cannot Rape Your Spouse.” “Michael Cohen, special counsel to Trump. Cohen has been a long-time aide to Trump, but he found himself facing the national media glare last month when he defended his boss to a Daily Beast reporter in a story about rebuffed allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump. Cohen has since publicly apologized for telling the Daily Beast that ‘you cannot rape your spouse’ and has repeatedly said that he does not believe that statement. ‘As an attorney, husband and father there are many injustices that offend me but nothing more than charges of rape or racism. They hit me at my core,’ Cohen said in an apology statement to CNN. Cohen has served as a media liaison to Trump, helping to coordinate interviews. And he has also appeared on television defending Trump's campaign, but his public appearances have dwindled following the controversy.” The Hill, 8/14/15] Confidential Page 52
