Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer and fixer, is prepared to tell investigators “all he knows” about Trump and the “conspiracy to collude and corrupt the 2016 election,” according to his attorney Lanny Davis.
“I can tell you that Mr. Cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel and is more than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows; not just about the obvious possibility of a conspiracy to collude and corrupt the American democracy system in the 2016 election, which the Trump Tower meeting was all about, but also knowledge about the computer crime of hacking and whether or not Mr. Trump knew ahead of time about that crime and even cheered it on,” said Davis.
Cohen’s attorney also accused Trump of ordering his client to make hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal over alleged affairs, claiming the President is guilty of a felony.
Earlier Tuesday Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations relating to those hush money payments.
Davis also hinted that Cohen may have incriminating information about the Trump Foundation.
The New York Attorney General has filed a civil suit against Trump and his three eldest children alleging “persistently illegal conduct” with respect to foundation money and using the money in their own self-interest.
“We’ll see if the level of corruption alleged concerning the Trump Foundation is a topic of concern for the New York Attorney General,” Davis said after being asked if Cohen could offer any new information about Trump’s alleged wrongdoing or criminal activity.
Davis said that Trump should be prepared to see “a liberated Michael Cohen speaking truth to power.” Cohen was Trump’s personal lawyer for “many, many years,” according to Davis, “and knows almost everything about Mr Trump.”
