As Michael Cohen pleads guilty to lying to Congress in charges stemming from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, look back on the role Cohen once played as Donald Trump’s “fixer.”

This excerpt from the October 2018 FRONTLINE documentary, “Trump’s Showdown,” examines how Cohen worked to shield Trump from bad press, why the FBI’s April 2018 raid on Cohen’s office was a sign Trump’s personal life in New York was colliding with his presidency in Washington, and Trump’s intense reaction.

After 5 years here we are: Trump will probably be found not guilty against Cohen’s allegations with admitted by this clown lawey. Once again PBS being partisan
Michael Cohen did a bad bad thing. And he paid for it. Now he is on the up and up and I believe everything he has said since doing time in prison. He has redeemed himself in my eyes. Go get him Mr. Cohen. 🫶ðŸ‘
trump should be in jail people.liar uneducated threatens us citizens. Narcissist fat ignorant satin
This worthless shyster punk lied for our dictator in exile for years…now he's a darling of MSNBC pukes sucking up to them. Typical for the scummy media
And it leads to his own indictment 5 years later! That’s why he was so disturbed when Cohen was raided. He knew the feds were coming for him next! 😂
A disgrace…a disgrace. Yes trump is a disgrace.
Should have pardoned himself.
The democrats don't play fair.
Frontline always frames things against the Right as being a threat to America whilst ignoring any issues the Democrats have or else spending VERY LITTLE time documenting them.
He's such a mook. How anyone was in fear of this guy is amazing. He's like if Billy Joel & Men's Warehouse had a baby on the side of the LIE 😂
Who would ever take this guy seriously? Look at him. Unbelievable that he got away with his bullying tactics all those years.
And chump stepped over Michael and didn’t blink an eye….and he’d do the same for any one of his children….trump slivers, he doesn’t walk upright
Now we know who's the bad guy is Muller
I sure hope Frontline does a piece on the corrupt FBI and intelligence officials in Obama's administration. I'm not going to hold my breath though.
In light of the end of the Mueller report it makes the people at PBS just as big shills as the other scumbags at the other networks
cohen is a superstar
It turns out these assholes in the WhiteHouse are the swamp!!
Law degree from Michigan’s Thomas M. Cooley Law School. So you know he's a top notch lawyer :-/
There's a mobster eating lobster..
In the highest office in the land!
Trump is a minion of Lucifer a pathological liar 🤥
Why did Cohen tape his client?
It’s not a witch hunt, everyone on the planet knows that Trump is the witch. It’s just a matter of time.
It was a good program, as always. So long, Donald.
Let's give Hillary's lawyers immunity and conduct raids on Trump's lawyer's home and office. And before you proclaim the innocence of Hillary's lawyers, explain why they needed immunity.
