On Monday night, CNN hosts printed out transcripts from convicted liar Michael Cohen’s testimony against Donald Trump in the former president’s New York City criminal trial.
They proceeded to stage a dramatic reading.
One host played the part of prosecutor Susan Hoffinger, while the other played the role of Cohen. Off-camera voices played the parts of New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan and defense attorney Todd Blanche.
“We need to stop this from getting out,” one host read, playing Cohen.
“Was there any conversation about pushing to a period of time?” the other read in Hoffinger’s character.
“Yes,” the host playing Cohen replied.
Ridiculous.
