Cohen Hired IT Firm to Rig Online Polls for Trump: Report
Michael Cohen hired an IT firm to rig online polls in favor of Donald Trump ahead of the 2016 election, The Wall Street Journal reports. Trump’s then-attorney—who has since spectacularly fallen out with the president—reportedly promised to pay $50,000 to small tech firm RedFinch Solutions to rig online polls on CNBC and the Drudge Report. However, instead of paying the $50,000 that company owner John Gauger was expecting, Cohen handed him “a blue Walmart bag containing between $12,000 and $13,000 in cash and, randomly, a boxing glove that Mr. Cohen said had been worn by a Brazilian mixed-martial-arts fighter,” the Journal reports. Cohen denies that, only commenting on the allegations to say all payments given to Gauger “were by check.” It’s also claimed Cohen also asked Gauger to create the @WomenForCohen Twitter account in May 2016 which praised Cohen as a “sex symbol.” In early 2017, Cohen received a $50,000 reimbursement from Trump and his company for the work by RedFinch, according to a government document. Gauger is also CIO at Virginia’s Liberty University, the evangelical college run by Jerry Fallwell Jr., a close Trump supporter.
