The TIME cover story notes that “Cohen has worked for Trump since 2006, when he was hired as executive vice president of the Trump Organization and special counsel. He resigned once Trump became President to act as his personal lawyer. Cohen liked to be known as the ‘fixer,’ doing whatever needed doing to defend his boss. And he relished playing the tough guy. In 2015, Cohen threatened a reporter who was writing a story about Ivana and Donald Trump’s divorce. ‘I’m warning you, tread very f-cking lightly,’ Cohen said, according to the Daily Beast. ‘Because what I’m going to do to you is going to be f-cking disgusting.'”
The artist who created the TIME cover is Tim O’Brien.
