Cohen scrubs mention of Trump from Twitter bio
President Trump’s former longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, made a subtle change to his Twitter bio, sparking speculation that he may flip on Trump and cooperate with the FBI.
Earlier this week, social media users noticed the president’s former “fixer” had quietly erased Trump’s name from his profile.
{mosads}Cohen had identified himself previously in his Twitter bio as the “personal attorney to President Donald J. Trump.”
Now, the Cohen’s bio is blank.

The move comes just days after Cohen, who once said he would “take a bullet” for Trump, told ABC in an interview that his “first loyalty” belongs to his family, not to the president.
“My wife, my daughter and my son have my first loyalty and always will,” Cohen said in the interview that aired Monday. “I put family and country first.”
Cohen is currently under criminal investigation in New York for bank fraud and campaign finance violations.
Federal prosecutors are also looking into the lawyer’s $130,000 payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels, which he has acknowledged making as part of a nondisclosure agreement. The agreement is related to an affair Daniels alleges to have had with Trump in 2006.
