Michael Cohen: Trump will go broke and may face prison — "it's going to hit him hard"

Salon  

Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former fixer and personal attorney, has been called a lot of things over the years. I recently spoke to Cohen after he gave testimony in the New York civil case against Donald Trump's business empire — where Trump himself is scheduled to testify on Monday. I was there to tell the truth, and that's all that I did.” Cohen has gone after Trump in two bestselling books, most recently "Revenge: How Donald Trump Weaponized the United States Department of Justice Against His Critics," but may have damaged his former boss far worse in that New York courtroom, where Trump faces losing hundreds of millions of dollars because of his fraudulent business dealings. So we have to start with the first part, and it's in the name of the book, "Revenge: How Donald Trump Weaponized the United States Department of Justice Against His Critics." Well, I stated this publicly on ABC with George Stephanopoulos: "I will not allow history to remember me as the villain of Donald Trump's story."
