In the THIRD PART of the special Court of History series on Donald Trump’s malevolent mentor Roy Cohn, Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz speak with Kai Bird, author of “American Scoundrel: Roy Cohn’s Dark Journey,” about how the disgraced counsel to Joe McCarthy returns to New York City to become its king, the center of celebrity, tabloid journalism and the Mafia, the friend of William F.
