Undated: Roy Marcus Cohn (/koʊn/; February 20, 1927 – August 2, 1986) was an American lawyer best known for being Senator Joseph McCarthy's chief counsel during the Army–McCarthy hearings in 1954, and for assisting with McCarthy's investigations of suspected Communists.
Born in New York City and educated at Columbia University, Cohn rose to prominence as a U.S. Department of Justice prosecutor at the espionage trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, which concluded with the Rosenbergs' executions in 1953. As McCarthy's chief counsel, Cohn came to be closely associated with McCarthyism and its downfall. He is also noted for representing and mentoring Donald J. Trump during his early business career.
Cohn was disbarred by the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court for unethical conduct in 1986,[2] dying five weeks later from AIDS.

October 1: Both a celebrity and an embezzling thief, Cohn served equally as an adviser to the Archdiocese of New York and as a facilitator for Mafia bosses. Cross him and you were dead.
"Roy is evil," three former business associates — unknown to one another — used those exact three words when refusing to speak ... about Cohn in 1979, six years after the city's preeminent fixer had become Trump's mentor.
Hauled repeatedly before the bar of justice, Cohn had defeated four indictments on charges of bribery, extortion, blackmail, case fixing and conspiracy to take control of two Illinois banks.

April 14: Trump was one of his favorite clients; before Cohn’s death, of AIDS-related complications, in 1986, the two men talked up to five times a day and partied together at Studio 54 and other night clubs. “Roy was brutal, but he was a very loyal guy,” Trump told the writer Tim O’Brien, in 2005. “He brutalized for you.”

June 28: How Donald Trump and Roy Cohn’s Ruthless Symbiosis Changed America
In 1973, a brash young would-be developer from Queens met one of New York’s premier power brokers: Roy Cohn, whose name is still synonymous with the rise of McCarthyism and its dark political arts. With the ruthless attorney as a guide, Trump propelled himself into the city’s power circles and learned many of the tactics that would inexplicably lead him to the White House years later.
As Donald Trump’s Hyatt [Hotel] rose, so too did the hidden hand of his attorney Roy Cohn, always there to help with the shady tax abatements, the zoning variances, the sweetheart deals, and the threats to those who might stand in the project’s way.
