According to Michael Cohen, Donald Trump said if one of his kids had to go to prison over the family business, it would be Donald Jr.
Cohen told MSNBC that Trump instructed him when his children were about to be indicted by the Manhattan District Attorney's office.
The district attorney's case for Trump Soho was about lying about the number of units that had been sold, and it was either Don orIvanka who was in big trouble, Cohen said.
If Donald said it to me, I wouldn't say it, but I would make sure Don was able to handle it.
Cohen spoke to MSNBC about the mounting pressure on the Trump family, as well as the probes into the Trump Organization's financial dealings and the January 6 riot.
New York Attorney General Letitia James said her investigation into the Trump Organization has uncovered significant evidence of fraudulent and misleading asset valuations.
James is trying to enforce the subpoenas issued to Donald Trump and his children.
The January 6 committee investigating the insurrection has asked Ivanka Trump to cooperate.
Cohen thinks there is no chance that the former president will cooperate with the investigations to protect his daughter.
Cohen told MSNBC that Donald cares more about Donald than about his children.
The chances of the Trump children cooperating with either probe are slim to none, according to Trump's former lawyer.
Michael Cohen served as Trump's personal lawyer for more than a decade before being targeted as part of a federal investigation into hush-money payments made to women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump.
Cohen was sentenced to three years in federal prison after pleading guilty to several crimes.
Cohen has cooperated with prosecutors in several investigations into Donald Trump and the Trump Organization.
