We'll see whether the level of corruption alleged concerning the Trump Foundation is a topic of concern for the New York attorney general.

I have spoken with Michael Cohen several times over the phone and plan to visit Michael Cohen within the next two weeks, michael Cohen is in relatively good spirits considering the circumstances. Michael Cohen is the one cheering me up when I talk to Michael Cohen, asking how I'm doing, not the other way around. That's Michael Cohen.

I would also add the important words used by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and others, in describing Michael Cohen's cooperation and testimony as' credible' addressing the' core' issues involved in Michael Cohen investigation.

However, as a general matter from my own past experience, it is impossible to deny or try to spin your way out of what documents say. For example, Michael Cohen in Lanny Davis public testimony did not ask anyone to rely on what he was saying alone. He provided documents that speak for themselves to corroborate what he was saying.

During that time period, he directed his attorney to explore possibilities of a pardon at one point with President Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani as well as other lawyers advising President Donald Trump, but after July 2, 2018, Michael Cohen authorized me as a new lawyer to say publicly Michael Cohen would never accept a pardon from President Donald Trump even if offered. That continues to be the case.

We will comply and hope to agree upon reasonable terms, ground rules and a date.

Due to ongoing threats against Michael Cohen family from President President Donald Trump and Mr. Rudy Giuliani, as recently as this weekend, as well as Mr. Cohen's continued cooperation with ongoing investigations, by advice of counsel, Mr. Cohen's appearance will be postponed to a later date.

There is genuine fear and it has caused Michael Cohen to consider whether he should go forward or not, and he has not made a final decision.

I look forward to assisting Michael to state publicly all he knows about Mr. Trump - and that includes any appropriate congressional committee interested in the search for truth and the difference between facts and lies.

There is no factual dispute, mr. Trump's lawyers said President Donald Trump directed Michael Cohen to make that payment. President Donald Trump is as much guilty of a felony, President Donald Trump just hasn't owned up to it.

I do believe that he has information about Mr. Trump that would be of interest both in Washington as well as New York state.

I reached out to my old friend John Dean because of what he went through with Watergate, and I saw some parallels to what Michael Cohen is experiencing, i wanted to gain from John's wisdom.

I completely understand why under ordinary circumstances prosecutors would not approve of what I did, but I believe they would at least understand that I had an obligation to my client to correct the record on something harmful to Michael Cohen.

This man has turned a corner in his life, has hit a reset button, and he's now dedicated to telling the truth.

Michael Cohen deserves to tell his side of the story - subject, of course, to the advice of counsel.

Like most of America, I have been following the matter regarding Michael Cohen with great interest. As an attorney, I have talked to Michael Cohen many times in the last two weeks. Then I read his words published on July 2, and I recognized his sincerity, michael Cohen deserves to tell Michael Cohen side of the story - subject, of course, to the advice of counsel.

I don't know whether that line has been crossed. I certainly think there's a question to be raised about what bank fraud has to do with Russian collusion, and that's something that needs to be addressed by the court.

He’s now lying on all his television interviews … when he says he was obligated to do so because he promised Congress.

The people on that process -- on that board -- nine agencies approved the [uranium] deal, and the individual from State said he never heard from Mrs. Clinton.

This is a bogus notion -- what might be the case, compared to what is the case, nobody says it was illegal.
