Eric Trump says Michael Cohen may have just perjured himself again

It looks like some — if not all — of the Trump family is tuned into the Michael Cohen testimony.
Among Rep. Jim Jordan's (R-Ohio) testy questions, which included detailing Cohen's crimes and highlighting threats the former lawyer made to a reporter, was an accusation that Cohen's decision to testify against President Trump was out of revenge for never getting a job in the White House.
Trump's former attorney stated that he never sought a job in the Trump administration despite being offered numerous times by the president himself — New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman confirmed that Trump indeed wanted Cohen on his staff, but was blocked by former White House Counsel Don McGahn and others. Cohen claimed he wasn't merely a disgruntled former employee who wanted to badmouth Trump, saying, "I got exactly what I wanted," and saying he was honored to be the president's personal lawyer.
