There are many who have known about Cohn mentoring Trump in his early years. Unfortunately, it was well hidden when we needed to know before the 2016 election.

There are many who have known about Cohn mentoring Trump in his early years. Unfortunately, it was well hidden when we needed to know before the 2016 election.
This was written in Politico back in 2019: 'Roy Cohn, who has been described by people who knew him as “a snake,” “a scoundrel” and “a new strain of son of a bitch,” is the subject of a new documentary out this week from producer and director Matt Tyrnauer. It’s an occasion to once again look at Cohn and ask how much of him and his “savage,” “abrasive” and “amoral” behavior is visible in the behavior of the current president. Trump, as has been well-established, learned so much from the truculent, unrepentant Cohn about how to get what he wants, and he pines for Cohn and his notorious capabilities still.'
I seem to recall press and magazine hints and implications throughout the long Roy Cohn/tfg association in terms of questionable practices from 1973 until Cohn's aids related death in 1986. Cohn, of course, cut his political chops assisting Senator Joseph McCarthy and turned around to coach tfg and introduce him to such stellar "movers and shakers" as Manafort and Stone. The seeds were there for decades.
