Earlier this month, the president also directly expressed the belief that Cohen deserves to serve a “full and complete” jail sentence. Regarding the charges against Cohen, Trump stated that the former ought to have known what he was doing:
“Michael Cohen is a lawyer. I assume he would know what he’s doing. Number one, it wasn’t a campaign contribution. If it were, it’s only civil. Even if it’s only civil, there was no violation based on what we did. OK?”
Talks of Impeaching President Trump
President Trump’s critics have overwhelmingly called for his impeachment since the inception of his time in office. Americans who oppose the president frequently opine that he is neither fit nor qualified for the job.
The ongoing Russia investigation is also a common talking point for individuals who wish to see President Trump removed from office. At this time, special counsel Robert Mueller is still reviewing whether or not Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. Similarly to allegations of affairs, the president denies it. Trump and his supporters also frequently criticize the Russia probe as a politically motivated “hoax.”
