President Trump's former longtime lawyer Michael Cohen is urging Americans to vote in the upcoming midterm elections to avoid more years of "craziness."
"Listen, here's my recommendation. Grab your family, grab your friends, grab your neighbors, and get to the poll, because if not, you are going to have another two or another six years of this craziness," Cohen told CNN.
"So, make sure you vote. All right?"
Cohen's comments, made during an interview outside his home in Manhattan, come as he is reportedly willing to campaign for Democrats this fall.
The brief appearance marks Cohen’s first on-camera media interview since he pleaded guilty to eight criminal counts in August.
Cohen made a similar voting plea last week, declaring that the midterms “might be the most important vote in our lifetime.”
Cohen confirmed earlier this month that he had re-registered as a Democrat after serving as the deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) following the 2016 election.
He resigned from the position in June after federal prosecutors began investigating him for bank fraud, tax fraud and campaign finance law violations.
Cohen, for for years identified as a Democrat, told CNN on Friday that he made the party switch at the request of the GOP’s committee when he joined the organization.
"I've been Democrat for pretty much my whole entire life,” Cohen told the outlet. “I switched because of a request of the RNC. Couldn't be the vice chair of the RNC and be a Democrat."
He later walked away from a CNN reporter after they asked about his meeting with investigators.
Cohen reportedly met with prosecutors earlier this week who are looking into Trump's family business and charity.
CNN reported Wednesday that Cohen was spotted leaving the New York City office of his attorney, Guy Petrillo, where they reportedly met with officials from the New York Attorney General's office.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom McKay, who is leading the prosecution of Cohen for bank and tax fraud as well as campaign finance law violations, was spotted by the network entering the building earlier in the day.
The purpose of the meeting is unclear and spokespeople for the law enforcement offices declined to comment.
Cohen strikes me as someone who acts before he thinks.
That can be a very handy sort of person to have at your disposal, but such people are also easily lead and not difficult to persuade.
lets be honest...
Democrats are gonna be crazy REGARDLESS!!
do we want crazy in power, or out of power..
If you want the first, democratic underground is missing an idiot.. If you want the second, get out there and VOTE!
Is he hoping Democrats will save him?
This guy is s real puss sack.
One thing for sure is the democrats have any dirty but legal stuff he did for Trump. I have a feeling it’s all stuff like the NDA. This crook was facing sixty years on bank fraud related to his taxi medallions and they bumped it down to 3-6 for saying Trump directed him to break campaign laws.
Lawyers like him give the other 10% a bad name........................
You got it! Got our ballots this week. Can't wait to drop 'em off!
When it came to picking people, as presidential candidate and as president, Trump has to be THE absolute stupidest, most idiotic, and WORST president EVER! It has been his one major flaw.
Lol! You’re thinking of Stockholm, maybe?
Sounds like he dissed Trump and Trump cut bait.
The LAST person I want advising me how to vote is a raggedy assed, commie liberal shyster lawyer saying anything his masters tell him to say if he wants to keep his raggedy, liberal ass out of prison.
The craziness is all being pushed by the radicalized militant left.
No. I do not necessarily agree with any particular explanation for Patty’s bizarre behavior.
I don’t know about that, but do you really think anyone on the R side would even want to be in the same room with him after what he did?
The POS has sold out to Lanny Davis and the Clintonistas.
Democrats: lies, sleaze, violence
What’s not to like?
‘level of cooperation with Mueller’s team’ while awaiting sentencing, in action
It confirms what I thought for a long time.
The RNC is heavily infested with Democrat operatives who claim to be Republican but are nothing of the sort.
It’s the only way to explain the number of RINO’s that we’ve had.
And it explains the GOPe adversion to Trump.
I don’t know how we purge the RNC. We’ve been purging RINO’s one primary at a time.
