Trump Going Down? NY DA's Key Witness Cohen Says Trump's In Big Trouble | The Beat With Ari Melber

THE CHECK. MR. WEISSELBERG FOR SURE. >> WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WHERE THIS INVESTIGATION IS GOING? WHAT, IF ANYTHING, CAN YOU TELL US RELEVANT TO THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN COOPERATING AND TESTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES? >> RIGHT. SO OBVIOUSLY THE COOPERATION IS NOT OVER. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE HAS MILLIONS OF PAGES OF DOCUMENTS. WITHOUT THE DOCUMENTS PROVIDED BY JEN WEISSELBERG, WITHOUT THE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS THAT I AM PROVIDING AND HAVE PROVIDED, THEY HAVE MILLIONS OF PAGES OF TAX DOCUMENTS AND SO ON MR. TRUMPS, THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION AND OTHER PEOPLE. I REALLY DONT WANT TO GET INTO THE SUM AND SUBSTANCE OF THE TOPICS. THOUGH, MANY HAVE BEEN ALREADY DISCUSSED AND PROVIDED AND INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE PRESS BECAUSE I REALLY WANT TO RESPECT THE PROCESS AND RESPECT MARK POMERANZ WHO HAS A HECK OF A JOB IN FRONT OF HIM. HE COMPLIMENTED THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION ON THE HIRING OF A VERY WELL SEASONED CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY. BUT THE PROBLEM FOR HIM, THE PROBLEM FOR DONALD TRUMP AND THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION IS THAT THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH AND THAT THE TRUTH WILL ALWAYS COME OUT, TO WHICH CASE IT DOESNT MATTER WHO YOUR LAWYER IS. YOU MAY HAVE MARK MUKASI, WHICH IS THE LAWYER TRUMP RECOMMENDED NOW TO MATT GAETZ. WHATS THE DIFFERENCE? I MEAN, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE DOCUMENTS, THE RECORDS EXIST. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS NICOLE WALLACE TALKED ABOUT WAS THAT I HAD FLIPPED. FIRST OF ALL, I DIDNT FLIP. THATS ACTUALLY INACCURATE. I PLED GUILTY. BUT WHEN I WAS PROVIDING THE TESTIMONY, ARI, I WAS PROVIDING IT UNDER OATH. I WAS PROVIDING IT BASED UPON A SUBPOENA BY CONGRESS. AND THAT WAS -- THATS NOT FLIPPING. I GOT NO BENEFIT FROM THE INFORMATION THAT I GAVE. I ENDED UP PLEADING GUILTY, AND I RECEIVED ZERO BENEFIT BY THE JUDGE WHEN IT CAME TO SENTENCING TIME. ACTUALLY, I BELIEVE THAT I WAS, YOU KNOW, VERY HARSHLY SENTENCED. AND THATS WHY I HAVE MY CURRENT WRIT OF HAB YUS KOR BUS OUT THERE WHICH IM SEEKING TO REMOVE MYSELF FROM HOME CONFINEMENT. >> WELL, THATS ALL VERY INTERESTING. I WILL SAY LEGALLY PART OF WHAT YOU SAID IS CERTAINLY TRUE. WE COVERED IT AT THE TIME THE WAY THAT SOME OTHER FOLKS IN THE MUELLER PROBE GOT OFF FAR LIGHTER THAN YOU WHILE YOU DID PROVIDE TESTIMONY. BUT AS YOU SAY, IT WAS NOT PURSUANT TO SOME AUTOMATIC DEAL, WHICH IS PART OF WHAT GOES INTO THE SENTENCE. WE HAD LENNY DAVIS ON ABOUT THAT AS WELL. YOU CLASHED WITH GAETZ. YOU WORKED FOR TRUMP. YOU ARE DEALING WITH SOME OF THE SAME OVER LAPPING ISSUES IN THE NEW YORK INVESTIGATION.
