Michael Cohen says Donald Trump will use Department of Justice to "exact revenge" if elected president in 2024
The Point
Michael Cohen went from being Donald Trump's right-hand man to one of his chief accusers. Why the about-face?
Talking Points
Cohen hosts a podcast, "Mea Culpa," and wrote a book entitled "Revenge." It's probably fair to say that he has become a painful thorn in Trump's side.
On "The Point with Marcia Kramer," Cohen talked about coming face-to-face with Trump in court during the former president's trial in New York and what he fears would happen if Trump wins the presidency in 2024.
Cohen also said he doesn't want Trump to go to jail because he might reveal national security secrets to others behind bars.
