Michael Cohen expects 'nastier' questions than Fani Willis in his Trump trial testimony
Trump's one-time lawyer and former fixer expects a "nastier" line of questioning than the one Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis endured.
Michael Cohen said that he will testify in Trump's hush money criminal case but is preparing for a tough time on the witness stand.
"For example, with Fani Willis today, they get personal, they get nasty and I expect mine to be as nasty, if not nastier than the questions that were thrown at Fani Willis today," he said.

Cohen was foreshadowing his treatment as a witness when he will once again face Trump in court and his attorneys and comparing them to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Willis on Thursday testified to prevent her disqualification from the election interference case for lying and profiting from carrying on a romantic relationship with a special prosecutor.
Cohen served former President Donald Trump as his personal attorney until he was disbarred and arrested in 2018 and saved a three-year prison stint for taking a plea on campaign finance charges and committing perjury before Congress.
"This is not even a six-week case," Cohen said. "I would say at best it would be a four-week case... this case could and should be over in a month with a decision."
Trump stands accused of doctoring business records to keep secret $130,000 paid to porn star Stormy Daniels who claimed they had a sexual encounter.
The effort was to buy Daniels' silence and dodge a sex scandal in the last few weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign where he was already reeling from a damning "Access Hollywood" hot mic video where Trump boasted about grabbing women's genitals.
Trump has pleaded not guilty.
When it's said and done, a jury of Trump's peers are going to decide his fate.
Cohen said they and not Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg or anyone else "will make the determination."
"I's merely [Bragg's] office that brought the case," he said. "They brought the case based upon legitimate illegal actions, illegal behavior done by Donald.
"So it's going to be a trial no different than if it was you, me or anybody. and as a result, the decision will be in the hands of the jurors, not in the hands of Alvin Bragg," Cohen said.
