Michael Cohen Threatens to Leave U.S. if Trump Defeats Harris in November Election
Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney to Donald Trump, has made a dramatic vow to leave the United States if his former boss secures a second term in the White House by defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election. In an appearance on MSNBC, Cohen stated unequivocally, “I’m out of here,” emphasizing the gravity of his concerns regarding a potential Trump presidency.
Cohen revealed that he is already in the process of obtaining a foreign passport under a different name. “I don’t know how it’s going to work, as far as dealing with my wife and my children,” he admitted. “I certainly don’t want them moving to where I’m looking to go.” His comments come amidst discussions surrounding a New York Times report detailing Trump’s intentions to pursue legal action against his political adversaries if re-elected.
Once seen as a loyal fixer for Trump, Cohen has transformed into one of his staunchest critics, particularly after testifying as a key witness in the New York business records trial against Trump earlier this year. This trial culminated in Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records, a case rooted in a payment Cohen claims was made at Trump’s direction to adult film star Stormy Daniels in the lead-up to the 2016 election.
Cohen’s remarks also included a warning that he is not the only individual who might face retribution if Trump returns to power.” he said, highlighting the broad scope of individuals Trump has threatened in the past. “How many people has he turned around and said that these are people that I intend to go after if I have the ability to?”
In addition to his warnings about potential reprisals, Cohen criticized a recent Supreme Court ruling granting extensive immunity to presidents for actions taken while in office. He described the decision as “the worst,” arguing that it empowers Trump to act with impunity. “Now he thinks it’s, not only is it, ‘I can do whatever I want,’ but ‘I can’t even be prosecuted,’” Cohen lamented. “It’s a get-out-of-jail-free card solely for the president.”
Cohen’s threats to leave the country if Trump is re-elected reflect the intense political climate leading up to the November election. As tensions rise, many are watching closely to see how the election will impact not only the political landscape but also the lives of those closely tied to the candidates. Cohen’s bold declaration underscores the high stakes involved in the upcoming presidential race and the fears that accompany a potential Trump return to the Oval Office.
