Then Lewandowski alleged that Cohen caused damage to Trump’s 2016 campaign by publicly making false assertions.
“I was very clear when I was in charge of the campaign, Michael was not somebody who we wanted at the campaign,” Lewandowski said. “He would go out and make statements that we had to walk back afterwards because he would say things which were factually untrue. I warned everybody at the organization that Michael was going to become a problem.”
More on Cohen
The president’s former attorney has pleaded guilty to multiple charges of campaign finance violations and tax illegalities. Earlier this year, the FBI raided Cohen’s office and seized a variety of relevant documents for its investigations. Since then, Americans hypothesized as to whether or not Cohen would eventually “flip” on Trump in order to save himself.
After ongoing speculation from some that Cohen would eventually “flip” on Trump to save himself, Cohen publicly declared his loyalty to his family and country. The former Trump fixer did not cite any loyalty to the president.
