Donald Trump's former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen said he's "relieved" after the former president was found guilty on all 34 counts in a hush money trial charging the falsifying of business records.
Cohen appeared Thursday evening on MSNBC in an exclusive interview.
“As we like to state, nobody is above the law, and today’s verdict demonstrates that,” Cohen said in the interview.
Cohen's testimony was seen as pivotal in Trump's trial and he was on the stand a number of days testifying and facing a cross-examination. The defense hammered at Cohen’s credibility and his previous lies under oath.

When asked how he was feeling after the verdict, Cohen said on MSNBC, “I guess the word is relieved. This has been six years in the making.”
Cohen said everything he said on the witness stand in 21 hours of testimony was corroborated by other witnesses and documents.

Trump will face Judge Juan Merchan again on July 11 for the scheduled sentencing.
