While testifying before Congress about his business dealings as Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen mentioned his own family numerous times, including daughter, Samantha.
On the topic of the Access Hollywood tape being made public in October 2016 — when the Trump uttered his infamous “grab ’em by the p****” comment — Cohen said he was out of the country at the time. He explained he was visiting his daughter, Samantha, a University of Pennsylvania undergrad who was then studying in London. His time off was cut short when Trump’s former aide Hope Hicks asked him to do damage control.
The mentions of Samantha made her a talking point on Twitter.
This isn’t the first time Samantha has been pulled into the spotlight by her prison-bound dad. Some things to know about her:
The whole family — Cohen’s wife, Laura Shusterman, and younger son, Jake — attended graduation festivities last May. While a student at Penn, Samantha was reportedly part of the non-Greek sorority Tabard Society. She’s currently “seeking job opportunities,” according to a LinkedIn page in her name.
In 2017, Cohen tweeted a snap of his pride and joy in a bra and tights, which led to comparisons of their relationship to Trump’s with Ivanka. Samantha spoke out about the controversy, saying, “My father does not think I’m ‘hot’ and him posting a professional photo taken of me in a bra and pants does not mean he sexualizes me.
