Would-be star witness Michael Cohen slams unraveling of Manhattan criminal probe into Trump
CNN
Michael Cohen, formerly one of Donald Trump's top confidants before turning against him to become the star witness in the investigation into the New York real estate mogul's business and finances, is "disappointed" by reports that the Manhattan district attorney has decided not to bring criminal charges against the former President.
"I was disappointed. I was discouraged. And I was distressed," Cohen told CNN+'s Kasie Hunt in an interview that aired Thursday on "The Source." "I was disappointed, because no one is supposed to be above the law."
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has been investigating Trump and the Trump Organization and whether they misled lenders, insurers, and others by providing them false or misleading financial statements about the value of properties.
