Michael D'Antonio: I was one of the 500 people Michael Cohen threatened
When Michael Cohen called to threaten me — "You just bought yourself an f-ing lawsuit" — were his exact words, I felt a little special. How many people, I thought, had been subject to such thuggery? Surely it was a rare thing.
Now, thanks to Cohen's testimony before Congress, I've learned I wasn't so special after all. Asked to estimate how many folks Trump had asked him to intimidate, Cohen guessed it had been 500 or more.
I experienced Cohen's weak imitation of a mobster trying to silence a witness in 2015, as I was finishing a biography of Trump the businessman/TV star. Trump had told me he would announce for president but I wasn't sure he would follow through. The call made me certain he would, because Cohen was so concerned about what I was writing.
