He can’t get a break.
Donald Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen — who took the stand as a key witness in the former president’s hush money trial on Monday — was spotted hitting luxe members club, Casa Cipriani, over the weekend where he faced some loyal Trump fans before he faced a Manhattan jury.
One Trump-loving spy told us of the downtown scene, “some of the members were very uncomfortable,” because Cohen is not a “welcomed individual” in their circle.
“He’s a rat,” snarled our source who added that one Trump-supporting patron went so far as to show Cohen a T-shirt with the number “47” in the distinctive MAGA red color — suggesting that Trump, who was the 45th President, would win again in November.
We’re told Cohen was “walking around shaking hands” at the swanky spot.
But our source claimed that Cohen left after seeing the offending shirt. “Cohen walked out,” the spy claimed. “It was very funny.”
Cohen did not immediately comment when we reached out on Monday.
Casa Cipriani is known for hosting some of Hollywood’s biggest stars: Following the Met Gala, nightlife guru Richie Akiva threw his 10th annual “The After” party at the venue, where guests included Usher, Lizzo, Lana Del Rey, Janelle Monáe, Lil Nas X, Winnie Harlow, Serena Williams and more.
Then again, Cohen is hoping to get the last laugh.
On Monday, Cohen testified that he secretly recorded Trump in the lead-up to the 2016 election, discussing plans to buy a Playboy model’s story about having an affair with the then-candidate.
Cohen also testified that Trump didn’t run for president in the 2012 election because he was still on “The Apprentice” in 2011.
But he said that when Trump threw his hat in the ring in 2015, the former reality star warned him, “Just be prepared, there’s going to be a lot of women coming forward.”
“I was doing everything I could and more to protect my boss, which is something that I had done for a long time,” Cohen said on the stand on Monday.
Prosecutors allege that Trump “corrupted” the 2016 presidential race by having Cohen pay porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep her quiet about an alleged one-night-stand with Trump in 2006 — a year after he married Melania.
Cohen previously went to prison for campaign-finance violations, tax fraud and bank fraud — and pleaded guilty to lying to US congressional committees.
He penned a book, “Disloyal: A Memoir,” and has a podcast, called “Mea Culpa.”
