I would bet a shittypants nft card that CNN anchor Laura Coates is a conservative reporter, as well as correspondent Paula Reid. They are pushing the right agenda that cohen is a liar and will lie in this trial as well. The last sentence below is seen in almost every far right pundit and news source for months leading up to today.
CNN anchor Laura Coates noted
"He said he apologized to the American public, 'for lying to them,' ... 'for acting in a way that suppressed information that the citizenry had a right to know in order to make a determination on the individual who is seeking the highest office in the land.' That's the way of getting to the motive as to why they tried to hide the payment," Coates explained
"He has a lot to explain," CNN chief legal correspondent Paula Reid added, "because of course they had to get out in front of the criminal pleas for lying, but we've learned a lot about other lies too."
Reid highlighted the fact that Cohen told lies about Stormy Daniels, about the Federal Election Commission, omitted what he shared with his wife and lied to special counsel Robert Mueller.
"I think what the jury has to reconcile is that if you'll lie to Congress, if you'll lie to the American people previously, if you'll lie to the IRS, 'why should I believe right now that you're not now lying to me?'"
