Michael Cohen, once former President Donald Trump's attorney and fixer, said that New York Attorney General Letitia James' massive fraud lawsuit will "financially destroy" his old boss and may ultimately lead to him going to prison.
James filed a sweeping civil suit against Trump, his business, and his three eldest children in September. She seeks to permanently bar the Trumps from conducting business in New York and pursuing at least $250 million in damages.
In an in-depth interview with Salon magazine before releasing his second book "Revenge," Cohen said: "Right now, that case will financially destroy him."
He added that the penalties could exceed the $250 million baseline.
Cohen, who went to prison in 2019 after pleading to tax fraud and campaign finance violations, told Salon that the fraud case could also lead to criminal charges. Asked if he believes the lawsuit will eventually lead to Trump being "perp-walked," Cohen responded: "I do."
Losing a civil case would not result in Trump going to prison. However, according to a footnote in the lawsuit, James is referring her findings to federal prosecutors in Manhattan, who could open a criminal investigation into bank fraud.

Yeah, right.
Lol. I’m sure he’ll be fine.
Legal analysis from a guy who graduated from Cooley Law School, the worst law school in the country and a joke in the legal profession. Only those who are too dumb to get into a real law school go to Cooley.
Michael Codung, such a paragon of virtue and icon of honor.
Bet he’s making good bank on this.
Michael Cohen is such an objective analyst and expert that he deserves to be listened to. And since it is being reported by Yahoo, then that seals the deal. Not to mention the rapacious wild ass gorilla they have for a DA in New York.
A true broken record.
Blah blah blah, that’s all we ever hear the walls are closing in! These people are mentally ill. They suffer from trumped derangement syndrome. The answer is, get out and vote! We must do it now
So why did Trump go anywhere near this guy in the first place, much less giving him access to secret info?
Publicity whore will say anything that will get himself into the “news”.
“In an in-depth interview with Salon magazine”
Check.
“before releasing his second book “Revenge,”
Check.
Forgot the “barf” tag?
They think if they railroad Trump everything will be just fine and they can smirk and gloat to their heart’s content. They would be in for a surprise.
Yup, they really got him this time! In other news, Lucy is not going to pull the football Charlie is trying to kick- this time for sure.
...this time for sure...!
(Yawn) Sucks about my Cardinals. What’s for dinner?
I’ve been watching all of Trump’s rallies and he certainly doesn’t appear to be worried about either this bogus case or the DoJ/FBI documents hoax.
Trump hired him because he had to make deals in corrupt NYC and needed a scumbag lawyer to deal with certain elements. Trump had to deal with a lot of crap, building in that sh,thole and knew how to get things done, even if it was a dirty situation. But, he’s always been a realist and did what he had to, because of his determination and love for what NYC could be. I’ve read this many times, sometimes direct quotes from DJT.
Yahoo? LMAO
Michael Cohen? totally hopeless.
NY AG’s? Another Joke. About 8th try.
