'Very Unsatisfied': Michael Cohen Reacts To Trump Sentencing In Hush Money Trial
HuffPost
Donald Trump's former personal attorney said there should've been "accountability" in the case after the president-elect effectively received no punishment.
Michael Cohen, an ex-personal attorney and former fixer for Donald Trump who pled guilty and served time in prison for charges tied to a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels, said he feels “very unsatisfied” after the president-elect was sentenced without penalty in a historic New York trial.
Cohen told MSNBC’s “The Weekend” on Saturday that there should’ve been “accountability” or the case should’ve been dismissed.
“I believe that if there’s no accountability, there’s no deterrence. And if there’s no deterrence, no accountability, what’s the point to have the case anyway? So that we can all just turn around and refer to him now as the felon president?” said Cohen.
