Former Goldman Sachs President and current National Economic Council chair - who is also Jewish - is said to be "disgusted" and "deeply upset" by President Trump's comments on white nationalists according to The New York Times.
Axios also reports: "we're told Cohn - who was standing next to Trump in anticipation of questions about infrastructure legislation - was somewhere between appalled and furious."

Presumably this corners Cohn to either publicly deny the story or pressures him to resign if this is truly how he feels.
With CEOs dropping like flies from his various councils, President Trump would be in grater trouble if a close aide were to resign, the floodgates could open.
