he thought it was a “super-charged search engine.”
Dumbasses like this never have to work for a living while I have to bust my ass welding car parts to pay off loans. 🫠
Wow corrupt and dumb
He only got the job with Trump because it’s the only place that would hire him. There’s that saying that definitely applies here: A’s hire other A’s, B’s will hire C’s.
“It did not occur to me then — and remains surprising to me now — that Mr. Schwartz would drop the cases into his submission wholesale without even confirming that they existed,” Cohen said. “Accordingly, when I saw the citations and descriptions I had sent Mr. Schwartz quoted at length in the draft filing, I assumed that Mr. Schwartz had reviewed and verified that information and deemed it appropriate to submit to the court.”
Bro:
Even if this is true, don’t throw your goddamned lawyer under the bus. Just say we’re very sorry, we fucked up, I was the one that researched it initially, we won’t do it again. Finger-pointing about it to the judge does 0% good and a whole lot of bad.
I like Cohen because he manned up and admitted he was wrong but this was a little reminder to me that POS is still in his DNA.
This isn’t exactly something you can simply apologize for and move on. His lawyer filed a motion with obviously false case references, and could wind up facing disbarment.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The filing featuring the fake Google Bard citations was submitted in November as part of an effort to convince the court to end this supervision early because Cohen had served his time and complied with the conditions of his release.
As such, he continued, he was not aware that Google Bard was like Chat-GPT, and could “show citations and descriptions that looked real but actually were not.” Instead, Cohen said, he thought it was a “super-charged search engine.”
Schwartz, for his part, submitted a declaration of his own claiming he believed the phony case summaries had been found by another lawyer working for Cohen, E. Dayna Perry.
It was not, as the fake AI citation claimed, a case involving a defendant convicted of cocaine possession who successfully secured early termination of his court supervision by complying with the conditions of his release.
Trump and his legal team have long tried to cast doubts on Cohen’s reliability as a witness, and using AI — even allegedly accidentally — to cook up phony cases without doing the bare minimum to check your work probably doesn’t help too much in establishing credibility.
In the criminal case, Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a scheme intended to cover up a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels.
