Roy Cohn: The mysterious US lawyer who helped Donald Trump rise to power Getty Images As new film The Apprentice premieres at the Cannes Film Festival, a look at the cultural afterlife of political hitman Roy Cohn, who was Donald Trump's mentor in his early career – teaching him to "attack, counterattack and never apologise". When Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election – a decision Trump saw as disloyal – he reportedly asked in anger "Where's my Roy Cohn?" In a 2019 episode called "The One Inspired by Roy Cohn", Blum sucks a fentanyl lollipop and points to a photo of himself with the real Cohn and Roger Stone, another acolyte of Cohn's and later advisor to Trump. "Is it any wonder that President Trump is asking 'Where's my Roy Cohn?'"
