Michael Cohen, the ex-personal attorney of former President Trump, said his former boss should be sanctioned for violating his gag order in the hush money case.
Trump’s hush money trial is set to begin Monday. Cohen sat down for an interview with Politico ahead of the April 15 start date, where he continued his criticisms of the former President.
“I’m not the defendant in this case. The defendant in this case is the former president, Donald J. Trump. So, what does he do? He starts to attack. And despite the gag orders that have been put on by the judges, he nevertheless continues to do what he wants,” Cohen said.
“He will say whatever he wants. He violates the gag order. And like a petulant child, there appears to be no repercussion. He legitimately just posted something calling me a sleazebag,” he continued. “And of course, he attacked Stormy Daniels, as well. It’s called witness intimidation and obstruction of justice.”
Cohen was responding to a post from Trump on Wednesday, where he called Daniels and Cohen “two sleaze bags who have, with their lies and misrepresentations, cost our Country dearly!”
I think Michael Cohen is a sleaze bag because he was Trump’s lawyer and he gave up the client/lawyer privilege agreement (an oath of being a lawyer) when he went with the government and giving into missteps of fabricating facts that did not occur! The money that Cohen gave was legitimate “Soft Money” regarding election law rules and was a legal expense accordingly. It is legal to try to quash a non-proven lie against somebody and if you pay them to shut up, it is legal and is a legal expense. Trump may have done it for personal reasons or business reasons. The Government wants to say he did it for political reasons. Guess what, any way they spin it, it was legal in all areas mentioned above. No crime. Trump should sue for all expenses and damages from NY AG’s!!
1. An independent expenditure is money spent on political advertising in support of or against a particular candidate. An independent expenditure comes from outside a candidate’s own election organization and is not coordinated with a particular candidate’s campaign, authorized candidate committee or political party committee. Generally, there is no limit placed on independent expenditures.[4][5]
2. “Soft money” is money given to a political party “with no limits attached to the amount that can be received.” Soft money contributions can come from any source, including corporations and unions. These contributions cannot be used to advocate for the election or defeat of a particular candidate.
