Leaker reveals personal information of Michael Cohen's family after criminal trial testimony

Michael Cohen's wife and children had their personal information leaked online after Donald Trump was found guilty in court. The information included phone numbers and home addresses and was posted on a website known for sharing private details. This was likely done to harm Cohen, as stated by Daniel J. Jones, president of Advance Democracy. The leaker called Cohen names and accused him of betraying Trump for testifying against him. Cohen responded to the doxxing by expressing his disappointment in people resorting to such actions to address their grievances. He mentioned receiving unwanted communication due to his testimony and attributed it to MAGA supporters being unhappy with the trial's outcome. Cohen played a crucial role in Trump's trial by testifying about paying hush money to Stormy Daniels regarding an alleged affair with the former president. The personal information of Cohen's family members was shared online shortly after Trump's conviction. This act was likely intended to harm Cohen, as the leaker called him names and accused him of betraying Trump. Cohen, who had faced threats from Trump supporters before the trial, expressed concern for his family's safety. The doxxing incident involving Cohen's family is part of a concerning trend of online threats and violence. Advance Democracy has been monitoring such activities and highlighted the risks associated with the erosion of democratic norms. Elected officials are urged to speak out against disinformation and calls for violence to prevent further escalation of such harmful behaviors.
