Michael Cohen was Donald Trump’s personal attorney for many years, and he said Saturday on MSNBC that his ex-client must be terrified that someone close to him tipped off the FBI about him having classified and top secret documents at Mar-a-Lago.
For all he knows, Cohen added, the informant could be his wife, Melania.
Cohen was asked by host Ali Velshi:
“How is he feeling right now because someone in his circle, or somebody around him that may not be a trusted advisor or something, but somebody around him who knows stuff about him is now an informant for the FBI. That much we know, the name’s been redacted so we don’t know who that is. What happens to Donald Trump when he feels that someone’s betraying him?”
Cohen replied:
“Yes this is a big problem for him because under normal circumstances quite a few people are around him. So he is able to shift to the next person. Here, he is not sure who he can shift to.
“He’s not sure if it’s Melania, he’s not sure if it’s one of the kids. Now you may remember, for over a year and a half, I’ve been saying that the whole issue with [Jared] Kushner to me just seems falsely odd in the fact that he who was secretary of everything in the White House, secretary of everything and that he seems to be escaping any sort of attention and , you know, any legal issues and so I’ve been saying for a long time, that just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.”
The former attorney added that he thinks the most likely suspect is indeed Jared:
“But, then again, it’s just my opinion. I personally have always thought that Kushner was the guy that would end up turning on his father-in-law first.”
No matter who the mole is, they clearly know a great deal about Trump and his secrets. That alone is enough to make the Donald paranoid.
