Helsinki was a significant turning point, he said, claiming Cohen became worried about the future of the country” when he saw Trump on stage with Russian ruler Vladimir Putin, who everyone in Trump’s intel operation concluded had interfered in the election to get Trump elected.
“That shook up Mr. Cohen,” Davis insisted, calling Cohen’s decision to implicate Trump in court “an evolutionary process, a painful process.

That was Davis’ segue to plug his client’s GoFundMe campaign.
Previous night, Davis also told CNN’s Don Lemon that Cohen has more serious dirt on Trump.

“I won’t calling it the smoking gun information, somebody else would have to judge that,” he added modestly.
