‘Think About How Dangerous The Information In That Guy’s Head Is!!’ Michael Cohen Fears Trump Will Spill Sensitive Secrets In Prison
Donald Trump’s former “fixer” Michael Cohen said Saturday that he’s “afraid” for the former president to go to jail because Trump could leak classified information to the wrong people.
Cohen played a key role in Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial, acting as the prosecution’s star witness who was able to link his former boss to hush money payments. Trump was convicted on 34 counts of business fraud on Thursday.
Cohen told MSNBC’s The Weekend that he’s not concerned about Trump’s safety behind bars.
“I’m more concerned for you and for all of us, and our families, and for the American people,” Cohen said, continuing:
This clown had four years of being debriefed on national security issues. On top of that, if he becomes the Republican nominee, he gets debriefed again! Think about this. America, think about this.
You now have a Republican leading candidate who’s a felon, who’s going to be debriefed on national security issues knowing how loose-lipped he is. How he’s willing to give away America’s secrets to Vladimir Putin, or to anybody for money or just simply for bragging rights. He did it with the Australian billionaire at Mar-a-Lago. He sat there in Helsinki with Vladimir Putin talking about national security issues but nobody was around except for Vladimir Putin’s translator.
These are not normal things. You do not allow somebody like Donald Trump to be declassified, especially now as a felon. So, my concern is, in a prison situation, he is willing to give away these secrets, as I always say, for a bag of tuna or a book of stamps. He will do it because does not care.
Later in the interview, Cohen added, “We know for a fact that he gave away information on how many nuclear warheads are on a specific nuclear ship. One of our military vessels! I mean, think about how dangerous the information in that guy’s head is. And he doesn’t think, and we saw that from yesterday’s press conference.”
