When Trump Found Out About Tape, He Reportedly Said ‘I Can’t Believe Michael Would Do This to Me’

CNN’s Dana Bash and Gloria Borger had some new and very interesting information to share about President Donald Trump‘s lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen recording him speaking about making a deal with a former Playboy model.

“The president had no idea, that his long time lawyer and fixer was recording him, and that when the president found out about it, which I’m told was this week, his response was, ‘I can’t believe Michael would do this to me,'” Bash reported. “So as you can imagine, as somebody who felt that he had the most loyal of aides in Michael Cohen.”

“Any information that was relevant to Donald Trump has been shared with Donald Trump’s attorneys on this case,” she continued. “They believe that there are other recordings of Michael Cohen and Donald Trump, but as far as they know and they have seen the transcripts, this is the only one of substance.”

It also turns out that there are reportedly other records of “significant individuals” that Cohen made.

“My source wouldn’t tell me who they are, but that they exist, the FBI has them and that whatever it is, would and could be embarrassing for Michael Cohen and these individuals that have also been recorded in addition to the president,” Bash explained.

“My source is confirming what Dana’s source is telling her,” Borger said. “And I was told that there are ‘definitely all kinds of tapes out there, including other tapes with the president.’ My source would not characterize the substance of the presidential tapes as significant or insignificant and wouldn’t talk about the other people who were recorded. But what we do know is that there’s this trove of tapes that now the FBI has gone through, the attorneys have gone through, and clearly, you know, I think there’s a move afoot for everybody to protect themselves here.”

“And I’m also told that my source said that there could be some real ethical issues about Cohen taping his own client without his client’s knowledge, but I was told that’s the least of Michael Cohen’s problems right now,” she added.
