Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen praised himself on Twitter Thursday evening.
The tweet — clearly intended to be sent from another account — was deleted in less than a minute. But soon, it showed up again, from the account of Cohen’s “legal crisis manager” Lanny Davis:
Good for @michaelcohen212 in providing critical information to the #muellerinvestigation without a cooperation agreement. No one should question his honesty, veracity or loyalty to his #family and #country over @potus @realdonaldtrump
— Lanny Davis (@LannyDavis) September 21, 2018
Davis later explained that his tweet was “sent” through Cohen’s account by accident. He also claimed he does not have access to Cohen’s account.
The rollout may have been a little bungled. But it’s now clear Cohen’s camp is very happy with the news that Cohen is cooperating with Mueller.
In fact, the tweet even goes so far as to claim Cohen isn’t just providing information — but “critical information to the Mueller investigation.”
This is a theme Cohen’s PR team has been attempting to get into the press for quite some time. Whether it’s actually true remains… unproven.
