Michael Cohen's testimony revealed that life in the Trump organization was more like The Sopranos than The Apprentice

The New York Times

"For 14 seasons, on NBC’s The Apprentice, Donald J. Trump presented a gilded image of the Trump Organization, which the reality show depicted as a hard-charging, happy, successful business," says James Poniewozik. "On Wednesday, before the House oversight committee and a nationwide TV audience, Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s longtime lawyer and fixer, told America that it had been watching a different story all along: less The Apprentice and more The Sopranos. Mr. Cohen described a business, and a campaign, in which lies and threats were routine and embarrassing stories were bought and buried, all in service of a boss who dropped Tony Sopranoesque hints about how best to make his problems go away."
