00:00Prosecutors closing in on Donald Trump, the greatest scam in U.S. history? Find out what
00:05secrets Trump insider Michael Cohen dished about Trump's future. He may have avoided being convicted
00:10by the Senate in two different impeachment trials, but former President Donald Trump
00:15isn't quite out of the legal woods yet. In fact, according to the former POTUS's former lawyer
00:20and so-called fixer, Michael Cohen, prosecutors could indict Trump at any moment. What's more,
00:25according to reporting in The Guardian, Cohen thinks prosecutors could win their case.
00:30There's obviously a lot going on here, but for a very brief recap, prosecutors in New York City
00:35are currently looking into the former president's company, the Trump Organization, on suspicion of
00:40tax evasion and other possible frauds. Cohen, who no longer works for Trump, is most famous as the
00:46lawyer who made the cash payment to Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who alleged that Trump had an
00:52affair with her. Cohen then famously flipped on Trump in a deposition and was subsequently sent
00:57to prison. So, what does Cohen have to say now? Speaking to NBC's Meet the Press, Donald Trump's
01:03former lawyer, Michael Cohen, alleged that Trump is guilty of his own crimes, but that he did help
01:08the former president in fudging the numbers when reporting the worth of his own assets. Cohen also
01:14said in the interview that Manhattan prosecutors are looking into the whole Trump family, but he didn't
01:19want to give away specifics for fear of tipping the family off. Cohen claimed,
01:23They are going after Donald. They're going after Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, a whole slew of individuals,
01:29family as well. The former Trump insider went on to state,
01:32Every statement that I make, I've backed up with documentary evidence. I truly believe
01:37that they can indict Donald Trump tomorrow if they really wanted, and be successful. Prosecutors
01:42have already made some high-profile indictments, including indicting the Trump Organization's
01:47chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, according to The Guardian. During his appearance
01:52on Meet the Press, Michael Cohen also repeated his previously stated conviction that Donald Trump
01:58will not run for office in 2024, despite statements to the contrary. Why? Basically,
02:03because Trump makes too much money hustling his supporters and fundraising drives in what Cohen called
02:09the greatest grift in U.S. history. Cohen told NBC's Chuck Todd,
02:13Donald Trump has made it very clear that he is grifting off of the American people. He makes
02:18the statement that,
02:19I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking about it. That's only to keep the grift going.
02:23It's really amazing that people don't see exactly what the guy is doing.
02:27One of the things Donald Trump has done is grift off the big lie. If he loses,
02:32which he will, in 2024, what happens to the big lie? The big lie disappears. Referring to Trump's previous
02:39promise to run for office in 2011, presumably after Barack Obama humiliated Trump during a White House
02:45correspondence dinner, Cohen said Trump would do the same in 2024, saying,
02:50It's not gonna happen. He's going to run it like he did in 2011, right to the very, very last second.
02:56Though the Manhattan District Attorney's Office has already brought charges against Allen Weisselberg,
03:01the CFO of the Trump Organization, perhaps in an effort to make him turn on Donald Trump,
03:06just as indicting Michael Cohen did, Cohen feels it is not enough. Cohen says Weisselberg's family
03:12is culpable, too, saying,
03:14They should be squeezing right now Allen's son Barry Weisselberg, who works for the Trump
03:19Organization, and they should be squeezing another son Jack Weisselberg, who is with one of only two
03:24organizations that made loans to the Trump Organization that we still know. It's amazing
03:29that I'm the only one that ended up doing prison. Cohen went on to say that he's working to make sure that
03:35everyone involved is brought to justice, saying,
03:37Now the goal is to ensure that those people who are responsible become responsible for their dirty
03:42deeds. I should not be responsible for Donald Trump's dirty deeds. Donald Trump is the one who
03:47was involved with the campaign finance violation paying off Stormy Daniels, as was Allen Weisselberg,
03:53as was Don Trump Jr., Ivanka, Eric, you know, and several other individuals. While this may sound a bit
04:00self-serving now, it is absolutely true that everyone involved in the corruption should be
04:05held accountable for their actions. Check out one of our newest videos right here! Plus,
