Michael Cohen Predicts ‘Petulant Child’ Trump Will Violate Gag Order By Tomorrow Morning
Michael Cohen, the former attorney to Donald Trump, predicted on Tuesday that the former president would violate his newly-imposed gag order by Wednesday morning.
Asked by MSNBC host Katie Phang, “How quickly will Donald Trump violate this gag order?” Cohen said:
Probably before we all wake up. You know, the problem with Donald is he’s like a petulant child. As soon as you tell him, “You cannot do this,” he’s going to figure out a way to do it. It becomes his nature. If you tell him no, he wants to turn around and say, “I can do whatever I want. I’m more important, I’m bigger, I’m stronger than you, I’m going to do anything that I want.”
I would have liked to have seen from Judge Engoron what type of penalties that he would impose. Rest assured, before this trial is over, there are going to be multiple violations by Donald because, again, he can’t help himself. And you know what? It’s more than just the clerk or the staff of the court. We’ve already seen now, he’s already done it to Fani Willis, he’s already done it to Tish James, he’s done it to Alvin Bragg, he’s done it to Jack Smith, he’s done it to myself. He’s done it to a whole slew of individuals.
Cohen went on to compare Trump to “a mob boss” and said, “Let me tell you what he’s doing. He’s sending a message.”
He concluded, “These MAGA maniacs who are reading into what Trump is saying, even though it may not be as overt as you think, they’re reading it the way that they want to, and they put your life, they put your family’s life, they put everyone in danger. That’s what Donald is doing. He’s sending one of those mob-like codes in order to obstruct justice and witness tamper.”
Judge Arthur Engoron placed a gag order on Trump, Tuesday after the former president posted a picture of Engoron’s principal law clerk on Truth Social.
“Why is Judge Engoron’s Principal Law Clerk, Allison R. Greenfield, palling around with Chuck Schumer?” questioned Trump in the post. “Schumer’s girlfriend, Alison R. Greenfield, is running this case against me. How disgraceful! This case should be dismissed immediately!!”
While Trump eventually deleted the post, Judge Engoron responded with a gag order and declared that “personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, not appropriate.”
