    Roy Cohn is a fascinating figure in American politics. He helped send Ethel Rosenberg to the gas chamber as a Soviet spy, and assisted Joe McCarthy’s witch hunts. He was one of the most expensive and hated lawyers in New York City, and he was Donald Trump’s mentor. Cohn would always attack, because he felt that people would eventually just settle rather than keep the fight going.

    Cohn was also a closeted gay man; when he was diagnosed with AIDS Donald Trump vanished from his life.
