The Shadowy Figure Who Created the Trump World...

In the THIRD PART of the special Court of History series on Donald Trump’s malevolent mentor Roy Cohn, Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz speak with Kai Bird, author of “American Scoundrel: Roy Cohn’s Dark Journey,” about how the disgraced counsel to Joe McCarthy returns to New York City to become its king, the center of celebrity, tabloid journalism and the Mafia, the friend of William F. Buckley and Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, takes on Roger Stone as a protege, works for all the Five Families of the Mob, escapes the law, preys upon young men as a closeted homosexual, lies, steals and cheats his way to the top, and meets Donald Trump, who was his apprentice.
