Michael Cohen, the former president's ex-personal attorney, said that New York prosecutors could indict Donald Trump tomorrow if they wanted to.
Cohen discussed the criminal investigation against Trump on Meet the Press. It's centered around a range of potential financial crimes by Trump's organization, most notably the question of whether he fraudulently inflated the value of his assets to gain an edge in financing deals.
Cohen said that he had given thousands of documents to the prosecutors.
Cohen told Chuck Todd that Donald Trump is guilty of his own crimes. Is it possible that I was involved in the inflation and deflation of his assets? The answer is yes.
He wouldn't talk about the case against in detail, as he didn't want to tip off Trump or the Trump Organization's people about what is actually happening.
He said that prosecutors were targeting the former president and his family.
"You can bet your bottom dollar that Allen Weisselberg is not the key to this," said Cohen, referring to the Trump Organization's former chief financial officer. Weisselberg was charged with 15 felony counts.
They are going after Donald. Cohen said that they were going after Don Jr, Eric, and other family members. Cohen said that the former president's "Big Lie" fundraising appeals are the "greatest grift in US history" and that he wouldn't run in the 2024 elections.
Cohen was asked by Chuck Todd if he believed the Trump Organization was a criminal enterprise. Are they a criminal enterprise? Let's say that they committed crimes.
