Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer. He was a prosecutor for the New York County District Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and is the author of “Bizarro,' a book about the secret war on synthetic drugs. Before he joined MSNBC, he was a legal reporter for Bloomberg Law.

Michael Cohen’s credibility as a witness in Donald Trump’s criminal case has been the topic of discussion since before Trump was charged last year. In recent days, it's been an undercurrent of the trial, as prosecutors slowly and indirectly introduce him to the jury. Given his prior life as Trump's fixer and his own related legal problems, Cohen has been viewed by some as a vulnerability for the prosecution, which may need his testimony to cement its case.

Davidson said that no one wanted to deal with Cohen and recalled that Daniels’ manager called him an “a—hole.” At first blush, you might think that prosecutors wouldn’t want to introduce a potential key witness to the jury that way, even implicitly. But the reality is that Cohen’s character will come out eventually, and the state would rather it come out on their terms than give defense lawyers more of an opportunity to undermine their case.
