Michael Cohen ā€” who long served as former President Trumpā€™s personal lawyer and fixer ā€” warned Sunday of the potential risk of sending Trump back to the White House with mounting legal fees and financial liabilities.

ā€œWe need to be very careful about him as a potential president because he is for sale,ā€ Cohen, now an outspoken critic of the former president, said in an interview on MSNBCā€™s ā€œThe Weekendā€ on Sunday.

ā€œHe needs to figure out where he is going to raise $500-plus million over a short period of time,ā€ Cohen continued.

    Iā€™m not really sure why people consider Michael Cohen an authority on anything. He was an unethical lawyer who got disbarred. He is definitely not an unbiased source about anything to do with Trump since he obviously has a personal vendetta after being thrown under the bus. While I donā€™t disagree that the headline is true, I donā€™t think attaching Michael Cohenā€™s name to it makes the argument stronger.

      Because he was trumps attorney and basically an inside man for what, decades? But yeah youā€™re right itā€™s not like his testimony literally brought down Trumpā€™s business in NY.

      Oh waitā€¦ actually it did.
