Michael Cohen Hits Possible Trump Lawyers With 1 Word Of Advice

Michael Cohen, who served as Donald Trump’s lawyer and fixer for more than a decade, had a stark recommendation for attorneys who may be considering working with the former president.

As Trump reportedly faces imminent charges over a hush-money payment that Cohen authorized to adult actor Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about an alleged affair with Trump — the payment which saw Cohen himself convicted and sent to prison — the lawyer summed up his advice in one word on Friday to MSNBC.

“The smartest thing that a lawyer could do, if Donald Trump asks you to represent him in this nightmare that he is going to be living: run,” he said.

“Run as fast as you can. And don’t run to Florida and especially not Palm Beach,” he added, referring to the location of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. “Run someplace east or west, but definitely don’t get involved with Donald. That’s what I would say.”

Cohen said Trump had until now avoided accountability and always thrown those surrounding him under the bus.

The revolving door of lawyers working with Trump these days is a “clown show,” Cohen continued. He imagined them “coming out of a Mini Cooper with floppy shoes and a red nose because what they’re saying makes no sense.”
