Months before evangelical leader Jerry Falwell Jr.’s game-changing presidential endorsement of Donald Trump in 2016, Falwell asked Trump fixer Michael Cohen for a personal favor, Cohen said in a recorded conversation reviewed by Reuters.
Falwell, president of Liberty University, one of the world’s largest Christian universities, said someone had come into possession of what Cohen described as racy “personal” photographs — the sort that would typically be kept “between husband and wife,” Cohen said in the taped conversation.
According to a source familiar with Cohen’s thinking, the person who possessed the photos destroyed them after Cohen intervened on the Falwells’ behalf.
The Falwells, through a lawyer, declined to comment for this article.
Cohen, who began a three-year prison sentence this week for federal campaign violations and lying to Congress, recounted his involvement in the matter in a recording made surreptitiously by comedian Tom Arnold on March 25. Portions of the recording — in which Cohen appeared to disavow parts of his guilty plea — were first reported April 24 by The Wall Street Journal.

Every day another shoe drops. How many shoes are there?
Were they pictures of him and his wife? So what.
Sure, Cohen is completely trustworthy.
Might be another lie...easily
Cohen’s been caught out in telling lies before.
I don’t see any reason to believe him in this.
So, who at this point would hire Cohen as attorney?
And what are his chances at a pardon from Trump?
Michael Cohen “re-defines” exactly what a completely worthless piece of $hit looks like!
“Unnerving.”
Why? were they
(Drumm roll)
“Under Developed”?
My guess would be another woman, perhaps with blackmail in mind.
Cohen’s specialty is thuggery, so Trump apparently lent his legal thug to Falwell.
One would think it covered under a retainer from Trump and so confidential. But what does one know?
Even if, so what? Personal matter.
I would love to see Trump pardon everyone, including Cohen ( for Russia Collusion Investigation ‘process’ crimes)
Even Manafort- they looked at this stuff he is accused of 8 years ago and declined to prosecute, and the usual punishment is a fine.
And they’ve kept the guy in solitary practically for a year now...
He's Resistance. Gotta love Twitter, where you can find out these things in MINUTES.
Absolutely.
Just not nice in the blab and embarrass role.
Just when I think we know everything something else is revealed.

Troll comment.
Troll thread.
Noob troll.
So, now we know. At root, Cohen is just another porn lawyer.
The Reuters article in its entirety says absolutely nothing.
It mentions people familiar with Cohen’s thinking but no names and of course we have the now famous anonymous sources, two of them.
