In an interview on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to Donald Trump, revealed that he has made plans to leave the country if Trump wins the upcoming election. When asked by host Nicolle Wallace what he thinks will happen to him if Trump returns to power, Cohen stated that he has already begun working on obtaining a foreign passport under a different name.
Cohen expressed concerns about his safety, as well as that of others who have been vocal critics of Trump. “I don’t think you, or the president of MSNBC, or General Milley, or Liz Cheney are safe,” he said. “He’s already shown a willingness to go after people he perceives as enemies, and with the Supreme Court’s recent decision granting him presidential immunity, he believes he’s above the law.”
Wallace pressed Cohen on whether he would indeed leave the country if Trump wins, to which he replied, “I have no choice.” Cohen also acknowledged that he is unsure how his departure would affect his family, stating that he does not want his wife and children to have to relocate with him.
