As we reported earlier today, Donald Trump is about to be hit with another flurry of subpoenas, and things just got worse for the former President. Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, isn’t done with his former client. Reuters reports that Cohen will be interviewed for the seventh time on Wednesday with the Manhattan district attorney’s office pursuing a criminal investigation into the former president.
Cohen spoke with Reuters briefly and compared “a March 1 U.S. Supreme Court decision denying Trump’s last-ditch effort to keep his tax records private to the “holy grail” for Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr.’s investigation into whether the Trump Organization committed financial crimes,” the news outlet reports.
“The Manhattan district attorney said in an August filing that the office is investigating “possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct” at the Trump Organization, though he has not fully disclosed the scope of the probe,” the report continues. “In a September filing, he said “mountainous” misconduct allegations could justify a grand jury probe into possible tax fraud, insurance fraud and falsification of business records.”
Cohen, who literally went to prison basically over Trump’s misconduct, is gunning for his former client. Recently, in an MSNBC interview, he said, “If there’s one thing I can turn around and tell you, he should start, maybe, speaking to somebody about getting a custom-made jumpsuit because it does not look good for him.”

According to John Dean, things do not look good for Trump. Dean served as White House Counsel for former President Richard Nixon. Dean was handed down a prison sentence for obstruction of justice, so he knows what he’s talking about.
Dean took to Twitter to predict that it’s only a matter of days before Trump is indicted.
From personal experience as a key witness I assure you that you do not visit a prosecutor’s office 7 times if they are not planning to indict those about whom you have knowledge. It is only a matter of how many days until DA Vance indicts Donald & Co. https://t.co/OaqribQBQO

Right about now, Trump probably wishes that he never ran for office. Well, we finally have something in common with the former president then.
