Cohen, who himself went to prison after pleading guilty to tax evasion and campaign finance violations, told MSNBC’s Alex Witt that he believed Trump would be indicted but wasn’t so sure the former president would be punished with imprisonment.
“There may be, based on the fact that he is a former president of the United States, it may not be a prison environment that he may ultimately be sentenced to, but rather a very strict home confinement scenario ,” said Cohen, who served. a phrase. part of his three-year prison sentence while under house arrest.
Cohen’s comments come days after meeting with New York prosecutors earlier this week as they look into the Trump Organization and a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels for an alleged affair she had with the former president. sources told CNN.
The former president is also being investigated for handling secret documents.
