Q. And what did you learn about Mr. Cohen's role in the Trump campaign?

A. We learned that his job included dealing with inquiries about Russia and he seemed to get all of the serious inquiries, investigative inquiries about Russia. He seemed to know a lot about that. We learned that he was a very intimidating person who had a history of threatening reporters with libel suits. We learned that he's married to — his father-in-law is a Ukrainian emigre, that he had some Ukrainian clients and connections to the taxi industry in New York which is heavily populated with Russian emigres, and we learned that he was involved in some of Trump's projects where there was a lot of Russian buyers. The only other thing I can think of is that he was also the person who dealt with allegations against Mr. Trump from the tabloids.

Q. And with regard to Trump projects with Russian buyers, what specific projects had a number of Russian buyers?

A. I don't specifically remember. Florida maybe. I think it was Florida. Sorry.
