Family Scrutiny: His Wife Laura & Daughter  “Subjected To Harassment” 

In the Trump-Russia probable-collusion dossier, Cohen surfaced as a key suspect who allegedly handled the proceedings between Trump’s Presidential Campaign and the Russian government during the 2016 election cycle. 

However, he wasn’t the only member of his family who made the headlines on the tabloids. His wife, Laura Cohen, along with his daughter, Samantha Blake Cohan, also began to gain additional attraction after he was involved in the investigation.

When Cohen provided his statement to the Senate Intelligence Committee in September 2017, he mentioned his wife and Ivy League daughter, and how they’ve had to endure criticisms,

“My wife and I have been married for 23 years, and are now entering into the season of our lives when we get to watch our children become adults themselves. My daughter, who is at an Ivy League school, and my wife, who is of Ukrainian descent, have especially been subjected to harassment, insults and threats … some so severe I cannot share them in mixed company.”

For instance, his daughter had to face unnecessary public scrutiny when he shared a picture of her dressed in lingerie on Twitter in May 2017.

Also in the same statement to the intelligence committee, Michael provided his alibi against the dossier’s claim that he had met with the Russian officials in Prague during 2016.

Amidst investigation from Muller and other bodies of law, Cohen's legal fees drastically increased, bringing him closer to bankruptcy.

He also claimed that he was with his son, Jake, visiting a prestigious university, USC, in Los Angeles on that day. He further expressed in his statement that his family shouldn’t be subject to scrutiny just because of his role in the government.

According to the Fortune article published on 20 June 2018, the pair got state warrant for about $185,000 in unpaid taxes (on his taxi business) by New York. The pair also (probably in 2017 or 2018) put their apartment in the Trump Park Avenue plus other assets (valued together at $9 million) in collateral against $12 million-plus loan they owed to Sterling National Bank Of Montebello.
