Interestingly that didn't happen since Cohen 2.0 shot down the key hopes of Democrats by saying that he'd never been to Prague and that there is no reason to believe the Russians have an incriminating video of Trump--thereby showing the unverified Steele dossier was wrong--, by saying that Trump didn't actually tell him to lie to Congress--thereby showing that contrary to Democrat claims Trump didn't obstruct justice--and that he had no knowledge of any collusion with Russia.
However Cohen 2.0 did lie about other things such as not wanting or asking for a pardon from Trump.
It turns out that Cohen 2.0 did ask, through his lawyers, for Trump to pardon him but Trump said no.
This means that even after Trump refused to help Cohen 2.0 Cohen 2.0 wasn't able to support any of the key Democrat narratives about Trump's collusion. Since Trump told him to buzz off Cohen 2.0 had every reason to lie about Trump to get back at him so the fact that he said Trump was innocent is quite likely the truth.
Of course Cohen 2.0 did make some statements that Democrats have latched on to but none of them actually consisted of first hand knowledge of anything criminal; paying off a woman to not go public about your cheating is not a campaign contribution unless it can be proven in court that Trump had 0% concern about his wife finding out. Even worse even if that could be proven the fact that Trump used his own money makes it legal since candidates can give as much of their own money to their campaign as they want.
