Michael Cohen, once known as Donald Trump’s personal attorney and fixer, experienced a chilly welcome at the upscale members-only club, Casa Cipriani, this past weekend. 

As he prepared for a pivotal role in Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan, Cohen encountered some of Trump's staunch supporters at the club. 

According to a source at the scene, "some of the members were very uncomfortable," viewing Cohen as a persona non grata. 

One particularly disdainful patron even taunted Cohen with a T-shirt emblazoned with the number 47 in MAGA red, hinting at a potential future Trump victory.

Despite attempting to mingle, Cohen reportedly left the venue abruptly after seeing the provocative shirt. "Cohen walked out," reported our informant. "It was very funny."

Casa Cipriani, a hotspot for celebrities especially after events like the Met Gala, became the stage for this confrontation. Cohen did not provide a comment when contacted on Monday.

During his court appearance, Cohen testified that he had recorded Trump discussing the payment to silence a Playboy model’s affair allegations during the 2016 election campaign. 

His past legal issues include a prison sentence for charges such as campaign-finance violations and tax fraud. 

Cohen has also authored “Disloyal: A Memoir” and hosts the podcast “Mea Culpa.”
