He former lawyer for Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, targeted the ex-president of the United States for to have urged the insurrection this Saturday after assuring that on Tuesday he will be arrested for the money he “secretly” delivered to the porn model Stormy Daniels in 2006 in order to keep her quiet about his affair.
“Protest, Take Back Our Nation!” Trump wrote in his Truth Social account, a request that was not overlooked by his former employee.
In an interview with The Post, Cohen pointed out that the only thing Trump is looking to foment violence before possible arrest.
“Donald would have no reason to publish the statement unless he has been contacted by (Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office) and informed accordingly,” Cohen told the aforementioned outlet.
The lawyer too compared this Saturday’s message with the one he launched on January 6, 2021 “Donald’s post is disturbingly similar to their battle cry before the January 6 insurrectionincluding raid to the protest”.
He also pointed out that with said message the former president hopes to take advantage “By doing so, Donald hopes to anger his base, witness another violent confrontation in his name, and profit by soliciting contributions.”
Michael Cohen is related to the case that falls on the shoulders of Donald Trump because it was he who made a $130,000 payment to model Stormy Daniels and later the former president made him a refund.
In 2018 the lawyer pleaded guilty derived from the payment and was sentenced to three years in prison; In early February, Cohen revealed to CNN that he was collaborating with Manhattan prosecutors and that had handed over their cell phones so they could extract information used for research.
Donald Trump has repeatedly mentioned that he did not have a sexual encounter with Daniels and even in one of her outbursts she called her “horse face”, however, the model does not remove her finger from the line and has collaborated with the investigation.
“Now the illegal leaks of a corrupt and highly political office of the Manhattan District Attorneywhich has allowed new records for violent crime to be set and whose leader is financed by George Soros, indicate that, with no crime provable and based on an old and completely out of tune (by numerous other prosecutors!) the leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States of America will be arrested on Tuesday of next weekTrump wrote.
