When the FBI released a fat stack of documents about notorious New York lawyer Roy Cohn on Friday, there were mentions of Ed Sullivan, Jimmy Hoffa, Detroit Lions fullback Nick Pietrosante, W. Mark Felt (the FBI agent better known as Deep Throat) and Morris Barney Dalitz, a Prohibition Era bootlegger
One person whose name did not pop up: President Donald Trump, who relied on Cohn as a lawyer, mentor and more for 13 years starting in the early 1970s, embracing his pugnacious adviser’s hit-back-harder style along the way.
Cohn was a singular celebrity by the time he died of AIDS in 1986, weeks after being disbarred for ethical misconduct. Story continuesIt was the start of a relationship during which Cohn helped Trump close signature construction deals, sued the NFL for conspiring against his client and prepared an onerous prenuptial agreement for Trump’s first wife.
The vast majority of the documents — around 600 pages — cover a period from 1962 to 1964 when Cohn was being prosecuted over accusations that he had fixed a grand jury to head off indictments in a stock-fraud scheme. The offer, the memo continues, “appears to be a clear indication that the hoodlum element would trade Roy Cohn” if doing so “would relieve the investigative pressure presently being applied to the Nevada gambling industry.”
