Trump Says Michael Cohen Should Rat Out His Father-in-Law, Doesn't Know His Name


by Tamar Auber | Jan 12th, 2019, 9:54 pm

During an interview with Judge Jeanine Pirro on Saturday, President Donald Trump threw Michael Cohen‘s father-in-law under the bus even though he didn’t even know his name.

It happened after Pirro asked Trump if he was worried that the Democrats are bringing Cohen — which she called “an already-proven liar” — in front of Congress.

Trump said he was not. Then, he worked hard to distance himself from Cohen.

“No, look, I was a client of his,” Trump replied. “You’re supposed to have lawyer/client privilege, but it doesn’t matter because if I’m a very honest person, frankly. But he’s on trouble on some loans and fraud and taxi cabs and stuff that I know nothing about. And in order to get his sentence reduced, he says, I have an idea, I’ll give you some information on the president.”

Then, he dropped his bombshell about Cohen’s father-in-law: “[Cohen] should give information maybe on his father-in-law, because that’s the one that people want to look at. Because where does that money — that’s the money in the family. And I guess he didn’t want to talk about his father-in-law – he’s trying to get his sentence reduced. So it’s pretty sad. It’s weak and it’s very sad to watch a thing like that.”

Pirro then asked Cohen’s father-in-law’s name.

“I don’t know, but you’ll find out, and you’ll look into it because nobody knows what’s going on over there,” Trump replied.

Who for years has been ratting out others to Mr Pecker, for his rag mag. . lol. trump's just making it all much worse , especially when Cohen has all the goods on him for many, many crimes, and has him taped saying. trumps in deep deep trouble and knows it , or he wouldn't be tweeting or saying anything about it. He always starts this type of negative campaign on those who can expose him with remarks like he's making now. trumps a career criminal, which will be exposed soon to all.
