Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen spoke to the New York District Attorney in Manhattan for the 19th time on Tuesday.

When talking about the speech Trump gave at CPAC, Cohen said that the "retribution" line isn't just about people like him, but about people in the press and anyone that Trump takes issue with.
