>> we have known michael cohen as being donald trump's lawyer but tonight we see the different picture of michael cohen ee emerge. the man who was the attorney to the president-elect and acted quickly to try to capitalize on that. we're told cohen went around pitching himself to companies and trying to land the lucrative consulting deals. and what he proposed was access to president trump. remember, cohen has been trump's lawyer many years. he was known as trump's right-hand man and fixer. what he did was remind the companies that he is very close to his boss that he could help the firms navigate the new white house. so i just want to give you one example of what this would have looked like after the election we are told cohen approached a pharmaceutical company called novartis and land add one-year deal with them promising them access to the white house on things related to health care policy. now the interesting twist here though is that apparently novartis and cohen had a initial meeting and the company realized actually cohen can't help us on health care policy.
