Michael Cohen, a former Donald Trump attorney and key witness in the Manhattan DA case against the ex-president, stated that he believes his former boss is “petrified” over his recent indictment and arrest.
Trump was indicted on criminal charges over the hush money payment he made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election.
“I believe that Donald right now is petrified,” Cohen told MSNBC. “This is one of his biggest fears, that he would be called out for who and what he is.”
“What I did, I did at the direction of, for the benefit of, and in cooperation with Donald J. Trump,” Cohen continued. “And so, I ended up being forced to plead guilty. I was charged, I was fined, and I was ultimately sentenced to several of these things that they’re looking at with Donald. What’s good for one has to be good for all.”
