Although it was clear to me that the Manhattan DA\u2019s office did not want to get to the truth, I need to explain that a little bit. I called them up after I saw Michael Cohen on TV stating things that he said he was going to tell the grand jury and had told the grand jury that were contrary to what he told us when we first represented him in April of 2018. So I\u2019m sitting at home watching these lies and I said I\u2019ve got to do something about it. I don\u2019t represent Donald Trump, but I do stand for justice. And I think I have a legal obligation to inform both sides.
