>> first knowledge of this tape was interesting. and now we hear the tape itself. why did cohen's team release this tape? >> look. i think that michael cohen is no longer the man who once said that he would be willing to take a bullet for donald trump. this is a new north carolina. that is at least according to his new team that he has brought on. remember, he has hired some new lawyers in the last couple of weeks, including lanny davis. take a listen to what lan in i davis said about the new michael cohen. >> this man has turned a corner in his life, has hit a reset button and he's now dedicated to telling the truth. and the reason why giuliani is attacking him so viciously, rewriting what everybody hears with their own plain ears, is they are afraid of him because donald trump can't stand the truth, to quote a famous movie, and the truth will come out. >> the question, of course, is what is michael cohen's version
