Michael Cohen breaks his silence: Trump isn't my "first loyalty"

Cohen suggested he may cooperate with federal authorities, stating that his family is his "first priority." He added, "Once I understand what charges might be filed against me, if any at all, I will defer to my new counsel, Guy Petrillo, for guidance."

"I will not be a punching bag as part of anyone’s defense strategy. I am not a villain of this story, and I will not allow others to try to depict me that way."

2. Apparently he's pardon-proof because there are state charges.
