  • According to Michael Cohen, Trump is looking for a scapegoat.

  • Cohen said that Rudy Giuliani could be the scapegoat.

  • Cohen said that the man would be thrown under the bus for Mar-a-Lago.

Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's one-time personal lawyer, said he believed the president was trying to find a scapegoat for the Mar-a-Lago investigation.

Cohen was asked what Trump's next moves would be in view of the Justice Department's investigation into whether he had broken any federal laws by keeping classified documents at his Florida residence.

Cohen thinks Rudy "Collude-y" Giuliani will be the next scapegoat.

Cohen said that Donald Trump likes a bargain. Rudy is a buy one get one half off deal. He's going to be thrown under the bus. He's going to be thrown under the bus for Georgia.

Giuliani is the subject of a criminal investigation in Georgia. The judge in the case wants Giuliani to testify and suggested that he travel by train, or something similar.

Cohen was asked by Lemon if he thought Trump was confusing people.

Cohen said the former president's tactic is to throw as much at the American public as he can.

He said that he believed that the American public had a two-day window to remember what was happening.

Cohen said that Trump probably felt a bit afraid as well.

Cohen said that he was scared of the documents that they now have possession of. They can use this against him.

Cohen was happy that Trump was being held accountable after the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. He thinks that one of the former president's children or his son-in-law could be the person who tipped off the FBI.

The staff at Trump's post-presidential press office did not respond to requests for comment.
