Michael Cohen says he thinks Jared Kushner has already flipped on Trump

 


Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former personal attorney, said he thinks Jared Kushner has already flipped on his father-in-law as the criminal probe into Trump's business empire intensifies.

Cohen did not offer any proof for his belief, but said he thought it was the case because of how little mention had been made of Kushner.

He noted Wednesday that Kushner's name was absent from "all the controversy, indictments, and arrests" around the investigation. He speculated that this was because Kushner was already co-operating with prosecutors.

"Interesting how Jared Kushner ... appears to be absent from all the controversy, indictments, and arrests," Cohen tweeted. "Is he next to fall or a cooperating witness? Knowing what a snake he is, I bet the latter!"

Insider has contacted representatives of Kushner for comment.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office on July 1 issued a 15-count indictment against the Trump Organization and Allen Weisselberg, its chief financial officer. The felony charges included grand larceny and tax fraud, and amounted to what prosecutors said was a deliberate, years-long scheme by executives at the company to avoid taxes.

Cohen previously alleged in June that both Ivanka and Jared had been involved in creating false documentary evidence on behalf of Donald Trump. No evidence of that has emerged since.

Mary Trump, the former president's estranged niece, speculated that his daughter Ivanka - who is married to Jared Kushner - could be persuaded to provide evidence against her father.

"As counterintuitive as this might sound, I think Ivanka has, one, more to lose, and, two, more to hang on to. Her husband's family is legitimately very wealthy," Mary Trump told The Daily Beast earlier in July.

A Look at 12 of the Worlds Most Expensive Colleges

  “College is the best time of your life. When else are your parents going to spend several thousand dollars a year just for you to go to a strange town and get drunk every night?” —  David Wood Engineering remains the in demand degree across the employment spectrum and students have many colleges and universities from which to choose. How will students choose which to attend? Some will compare the achievements of former graduates. Others will examine course work and curricular pros and cons. Then there are those who compare costs and will only study at the best, meaning only the most expensive engineering program will do. “Education is the most powerful weapon which to use to change the world.” –  Nelson Mandela The new generation of college students want to change the world.

Explained: Can US President Donald Trump pardon himself?

  With Donald Trump’s presidency entering its final weeks, the former businessman and television personality is expected to make full use of the outgoing presidential tradition of granting pardons. Some fear that the US President will wield his expansive power to pardon some of his closest aides, family members and maybe even himself. Trump — who faces a host of legal challenges, including multiple lawsuits and fraud allegations — will no longer have the extensive legal protections of the presidency once he formally exits the White House on January 20. Possibly pre-empting these legal issues, Trump has been asking aides whether he can self-pardon since 2017, according to a CNN report. In fact, an official told the news network that Trump was “obsessed with the power of pardons”. How does the presidential pardon work? All modern presidents of the United States have the constitutional right to pardon or commute the s...
