minus-squareMonument@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoThis is a bit circular as an explanation, but that’s actually what Cohen did for Trump. Trump has referred to Cohen as a lawyer that helped him deal with things, and Cohen has fully admitted that he acted as a traditional fixer for Trump for years. So… yeah. The definition is spot on.
