Michael Cohen Makes Absurd Claims About Trump's 'Crimes' and 'Indictment'
It should come as a surprise to precisely no one that Michael Cohen is basking in the media spotlight that he’s created for himself, and riding the proverbial coattails of his former boss in doing so.
Cohen, who once worked as a “fixer” for Donald Trump, has fully turned on the former President after having been indicted of lying to Congress on his behalf back in 2018.
And, true to form, Cohen is spending every possible minute that he can speaking to pundits and anchors, hoping to further defame The Don. This week, Cohen’s claims against Trump reached a new threshold of boldness.
Former Donald Trump attorney Michael Cohen said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the investigations into the Trump Organization by both the Manhattan DA’s office and New York Attorney General Letitia James already had enough evidence of crimes to indict the former president.
When asked what stage the investigation is in, Cohen said, “I really try not to talk about it because it’s their investigation, nor do I want to tip off Trump or the Trump Organization’s people about what is actually happening. So I would rather just not answer that specific question, other than to say that you can bet your bottom dollar that Allen Weisselberg is not — and I truly mean this, Allen Weisselberg is not the key to this. They are going after Donald. They’re going after Don Jr, Eric, Ivanka, a whole slew of individuals, family as well.”
And, as if those claims weren’t wild enough…
He added, “I’m not asking anybody to believe me. No different than when I testified before the House oversight committee. Every statement that I make, I’ve backed up with documentary evidence. I truly believe that they can indict Donald Trump tomorrow if they really wanted, and be successful.”

Cohen said, “I can assure you that Donald Trump is guilty of his own crimes. Was I involved in much of the inflation and deflation of his assets? The answer to that is yes.”
Cohen’s aforementioned dishonesty has many wondering if anything he says can be believed, particularly when he’s often chosen to make those claims in primetime.
