Cohen is now cooperating with the special counsel’s probe, and has also cooperated with federal prosecutors in New York, where he is being sentenced Wednesday by a federal judge. Ahead of the sentencing, here’s a timeline to help keep track of the federal probe in New York and Cohen’s involvement in the Russia investigation.
The FBI on Friday released nearly 750 pages of documents from the bureau’s file on the the late Roy Cohn, the controversial, hyper-aggressive lawyer whose high-profile clients included President Donald Trump when Trump was a fledgling real estate mogul in New York City. “Where’s my Roy Cohn?”.
Cohn’s closeted sexuality, ruthlessness against alleged communists and role as a bete noire of the left in the United States led to him being featured as a prominent character in Tony Kushner’s landmark play, “Angels in America.”. Al Pacino portrayed Cohn in the HBO adapation of that drama. VIDEO.
The son of a Holocaust survivor, Mr. Cohen grew up in the Five Towns area of Long Island, just east of the New York City borough of Queens. It was a comfortable life — both his father and an uncle were doctors, and he attended a local private school then called Woodmere Academy.
It was through his wife’s family that Mr. Cohen would be introduced to the taxi business, which would ultimately allow him to pull in millions of dollars.
From 2009 to 2014, Mr. Cohen — by then a trusted member of the Trump Organization — plowed $5.7 million into 22 Chicago taxi medallions, records show.
After he had built a taxi operation and a personal injury legal practice, there was another element to Mr. Cohen’s business dealings, this one involving doctors and companies that operated on the fringes of the medical field.
During his time working at the Trump Organization, Mr. Cohen became a minor real estate baron in his own right.
