Trump lawyer denies he's down in the polls: 'Says who?'

CNN's Brianna Keilar clearly struck a nerve during an interview Wednesday with Michael Cohen, special counsel to Donald Trump.

After Keilar mentioned that the Republican nominee, whose campaign is undergoing a shakeup, is down in the race, Cohen snapped, "Says who?" An incredulous Keilar responded, "Polls, most of them, all of them?"

"Says who?" Cohen, a man who argues for a living, repeated. "Polls," Keilar said again. "I just told you, I answered your question." "Okay, which polls?" Cohen asked. "All of them," said Keilar. It was quite the day for Keilar, who earlier had another guest explain to her what he meant by the stomach-churning phrase "turd tornado" (it's exactly what you think it is).
