Michael Cohen has found yet another way to stick it to President Trump.

The president's former attorney changed his party registration from Republican to Democrat in New York on Thursday, as reported by Axios and subsequently confirmed by Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis. This is just the latest instance of Cohen breaking from the man he once said he would take a bullet for, having earlier this year pleaded guilty to breaking campaign finance laws and saying he did so at Trump's direction; Cohen said in court that he paid hush money to two women who claim to have had affairs with Trump.
