Hi, I'm Dr. Stephen Hassan with another episode of the Influence Continuum.

0:08.5

I have a very special guest with me today, Michael Cohen.

0:14.4

Michael was Trump's personal attorney.

0:18.2

He gave the goods on Trump. He wrote disloyal, a New York Times bestselling book,

0:26.2

and now he has a new New York Times bestselling book, Revenge. You're also a principal in Crisis

1:46.6

And a lot of people think that my House Oversight Committee hearing was a one and done.
