Michael Cohen, a former attorney for Trump, claimed on Saturday that the former president’s calls for protests against the Manhattan prosecutor’s investigation signified a desire for “another violent battle” on his part.
During an appearance with MSNBC, Cohen said, “It’s surprisingly similar to the battle cry he gave just before the January 6 revolt, you know, especially given the call, you know, to the protestation.” And I agree… “Peaceful Protest” would have been a smart move for Trump, but he doesn’t want a peaceful protest.
As part of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation into a silent payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during Trump’s 2016 campaign, Trump said in an article on Truth Social earlier. in the day that he planned to be arrested next week.
The former president has urged his supporters to protest and ‘take back our nation’, saying ‘illegal leaks’ suggest that ‘the far leading Republican candidate and former President of the United States of America will be arrested on Tuesday of the week. next .”
Just before the 2016 election, Cohen, who testified earlier this week before the New York grand jury, paid Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about an alleged romance she allegedly had with Trump.
In 2018, the former president’s longtime fixer admitted to violating campaign finance laws regarding silent payment.
Instead of learning the information through “leaks,” as the former president claimed in his message, Trump or his team were most likely contacted by the district attorney’s office, according to Cohen, who s is interviewed Saturday with MSNBC.
“Knowing Donald as I do, I see no reason why Donald would have released the statement unless he, or his team, had been contacted by the District Attorney’s office and advised appropriately,” Cohen added.
He continued, “That is precisely how he reacts to the information he has, and not to the leaks from the district attorney’s office, as he would like to claim. “I can assure you that there are no leaks from the district attorney’s office. This is all from Team Trump.
Trump says he will be detained on Tuesday and urges his supporters to ‘stand up, take back our nation’!
Carroll and Trump agree to consolidate defamation cases into one case.
Trump’s calls for a protest, he added, are likely motivated by hopes they will help his 2024 campaign.
Cohen said: “These clowns representing him, this clown show of lawyers, what they believe is that it will catapult Trump into the White House by causing another violent uprising.
But more importantly, he added, “this is Donald’s huge scam. He will try to make money by asking for donations to defend him, your beloved president, against the racist Alvin Bragg and, you know, left-wingers.
