About

Individual 1 refers to a series of jokes and references to an unnamed person in federal prosecutor's office sentencing recommendations for United States President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen. Many have speculated that President Trump is "Individual-1."

Origin

On December 7th, 2018, the special prosecutors submitted sentencing recommendation for President Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen.[1] In the court filing, a party known as "Individual-1" was named as the coordinator of the payments to adult film actor Stormy Daniels and Stephanie Cliffords and Karen McDougal in regards to alleged affairs with Donald Trump.

Following the posts, many online speculated that "Individual-1" was President Trump. BuzzFeed legal editor Chris Geidner tweeted [2] an screen capture of the court filing and wrote, "I think we can NOW safely say that Individual-1 is Donald Trump, all." The post received more than 680 retweets and 1,800 likes in three days (shown below).
