Another surprise revelation referencing possible extortion only weeks before the 2016 election was made regarding former US President Donald Trump’s daughter Tiffany Trump during the hush money trial on Monday.

Tiffany was a quieter member of the Trump family at the time.

She hailed from a wealthy and well-known family, just like her half-siblings Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump, however she did not play the same role as her siblings during the 2016 Republican National Convention.

Michael Cohen asserted that Tiffany was being blackmailed.

Todd Blanche, the senior attorney for Trump, questioned witness Michael Cohen on Monday during cross-examination over the alleged “extortion” effort involving the former president’s daughter.

The idea was to prove that Cohen’s communications with Trump during a crucial time were motivated by more than just the Stormy Daniels case he testified about.

“You do realise that during the first two weeks of October, you had a lot going on in your personal life and with President Trump?” Blanche enquired. Cohen gave a nod of agreement.

“You remember on October 25th, you remember her talking to you about concerns about someone attempting to blackmail her?” Blanche asked.

Yes, sir, was Cohen’s reply. He claimed in his testimony to have dealt with it right away, talking to Tiffany, David Pecker, and other people.

This information was made public the day after Cohen testified that he used Trump’s longtime security director Keith Schiller’s phone to discuss the payoff with the porn star.

But based on Cohen’s messages with Schiller, Blanche had already noted that the date of the call corresponded with hoax calls Cohen was getting from a 14-year-old.

Tiffany was mentioned in the trial for the first time.

Blanche described it as a “possible extortion attempt” including pictures during Cohen’s Monday admission of stealing $60,000 from Trump’s trial.

Blanche suggested he had a number of things to talk to Trump about during their phone conversation, accusing Cohen of “lying” about the things they discussed. Blanche also mentioned that Trump was getting ready for the October 26 opening ceremony of his new hotel in D.C.

“So, did you think it was important to fix Tiffany Trump’s situation?” Blanche enquired.

“It was important I take care of things, but it wasn’t personally important to me,” Cohen retorted.

“Wouldn’t that be something you updated her father about when you spoke the next morning?” Blanche continued.

In response, Cohen said, “No sir.”

Throughout the trial, which lasted a month, this was the only mention of Tiffany Trump. Along with Eric Trump’s wife, Lara, who is a co-chair of the Republican National Committee, Don Jr. and Eric Trump have all been in Manhattan criminal court with their fathers.

Ever since she graduated from Georgetown University Law School in 2020, Tiffany Trump has kept a low profile. In 2018, she went to Lindsay Lohan’s beach club in Greece, where she met Michael Boulos, her current spouse. at 2021, he proposed to her at the White House Rose Garden, and the following year, they were married at Mar-a-Lago.
