Analysis: How Trump's behavior changed during Cohen's testimony

During Michael Cohen's testimony during former President Trump's hush money trial, Cohen admitted he would have accepted a pardon from Trump, despite testifying to Congress under oath that he would not. CNN's Jake Tapper and Jeff Zeleny discuss the implications and how Trump is behaving during the testimony. #CNN #News

I'd love a Trump lawyer to say: "you lied continuously didn't you" and for Cohen to say - "yes, I was a lawyer for donald trump"

[@redrick8900]

A guy changing his mind isn't a lie. Get a clue Tapper.

[@smkh2890]

Cohen was a loyal soldier until the Boss shafted him.

[@kerindawarner4582]

CNN news reporters you all already paint Cohen as a liar so why don't Trump take the stand and dispute the lies.

[@Camel-shitAshesStardustHeroes]

Go, Cohen! You lied on behalf of trump, and you went to prison for having lied to protect him.

America went stupid on 26 June, 2015. I want to Make America Normal Again.

[@KaiseruSoze]

You might consider that Cohen, after spending time in prison, might have changed his mind about getting a pardon. Ya know?

[@sc2455]

Still unjust - split hairs over Cohens response but repeatedly excused for trumps incessant actual actions

[@scottm6986]

Exactly, Cohen is not the defendant.

[@heatherbarr2238]

People are allowed to change their minds. Just because he said something in 2019 doesn't mean he still believes the same thing now. That's not lying that's changing your mind.

Usually we monitor our toddlers for behavior issues. Scary that we're talking about a Presidential candidate's behavior.

[@charlesjarrett6501]

What does a pardon have to do with the case I'm just curious CNN

[@kevinskiles2033]

Funny, whenever Cohen says anything that could be good for Trump, MAGA doesn't call it a lie.

[@charlotteherrera4374]

They are putting Cohen on trial.

[@susieb7305]

It is interesting to me how I am losing my sense of and respect in Jake Tapper.

[@sanmorgan8255]

Trial is not about Cohen accepting a pardon.

[@jaycicombs810]

How would this NOT affect Cohen, his life & his family however this case is decided? Michael is there because he’s required to appear. People seem confused about this.

[@midjo6143]

How does everybody around Trump go to prison and Trump doesn’t it’s like he’s the Mob boss that’s untouchable

[@navmarroaming2292]

If Cohen was an angel, he would Not have been in the fold.

[@davidmcnamara8024]

who exactly is on trial?
