Michael Cohen, an ex-personal attorney for Donald Trump, reacted to the shocking FBI raid of former national security adviser John Bolton’s home on Friday by reminding MSNBC viewers that he’s “been there” himself.
“I believe that he needs to lawyer up,” said Cohen, whose office, home and hotel room were raided by the FBI back in 2018.
Cohen — a former fixer for Trump who pleaded guilty and served time in prison for charges tied to https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th/id/OIP.wBdsS1G7PCgFxy-FMlLbFwHaEK?pid=Api&P=0&h=220a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels — said the Trump administration and Justice Department “predicated” the raid upon the contents of Bolton’s 2020 book, “The Room Where It Happened,” that details his time in Trump’s first administration.
The DOJ launched an investigation into Bolton in 2020, looking into whether the book contained classified national security information. The DOJ ended that probe under President Joe Biden the following year.
