Disloyal: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump
by Michael Cohen
View on GoodreadsMichael Cohen's memoir from his vantage as Trump's longtime "fixer" — through the 2016 campaign, the Stormy Daniels payment that produced his federal conviction, the Mueller probe testimony, and his subsequent prison sentence.
Core ideas
- The "fixer" role is reconstructed in specific procedural detail — how a particular kind of personal-attorney work translates into criminal exposure when the principal's instructions are themselves criminal.
- Cohen's portrait of Trump is unsparing but also self-implicating — he's not claiming naïveté; he's claiming complicity that he eventually couldn't sustain.
- The book's reliability is the recurring question: Cohen is a convicted perjurer testifying about his own role, but the specific factual claims have largely been corroborated by other sources and by Cohen's later trial testimony.
