And last month, upon receiving Mueller’s report, Attorney General William Barr decided Trump shouldn’t be prosecuted. The Mueller report, though blacked out in places, offers a window into the quiet support Cohen received from Trump before he turned on his longtime boss and began co-operating with federal prosecutors. Cohen “believed he needed the power of the President to take care of him,” he told Mueller’s team, noting his legal fees were still being paid at the time by the Trump Organization. But Cohen grew increasingly worried and asked one Trump attorney “what was in it for him,” the report says. Trump reacted by lashing out at him and later, in what Cohen regarded as a threat, accused Cohen family members of illegal acts.
