President Trump's former longtime lawyer Michael Cohen is urging Americans to vote in the upcoming midterm elections to avoid more years of "craziness."
"Listen, here's my recommendation. Grab your family, grab your friends, grab your neighbors, and get to the poll, because if not, you are going to have another two or another six years of this craziness," Cohen told CNN.
"So, make sure you vote. All right?"
Cohen's comments, made during an interview outside his home in Manhattan, come as he is reportedly willing to campaign for Democrats this fall.
The brief appearance marks Cohen’s first on-camera media interview since he pleaded guilty to eight criminal counts in August.
Cohen made a similar voting plea last week, declaring that the midterms “might be the most important vote in our lifetime.”
Cohen confirmed earlier this month that he had re-registered as a Democrat after serving as the deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) following the 2016 election.
He resigned from the position in June after federal prosecutors began investigating him for bank fraud, tax fraud and campaign finance law violations.
Cohen, for for years identified as a Democrat, told CNN on Friday that he made the party switch at the request of the GOP’s committee when he joined the organization.
"I've been Democrat for pretty much my whole entire life,” Cohen told the outlet. “I switched because of a request of the RNC. Couldn't be the vice chair of the RNC and be a Democrat."
He later walked away from a CNN reporter after they asked about his meeting with investigators.
Cohen reportedly met with prosecutors earlier this week who are looking into Trump's family business and charity.
CNN reported Wednesday that Cohen was spotted leaving the New York City office of his attorney, Guy Petrillo, where they reportedly met with officials from the New York Attorney General's office.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom McKay, who is leading the prosecution of Cohen for bank and tax fraud as well as campaign finance law violations, was spotted by the network entering the building earlier in the day.
The purpose of the meeting is unclear and spokespeople for the law enforcement offices declined to comment.
Roy Cohn, Michael Cohen, when it comes to weasels the more things change the more they remain the same.
What is it about lawyers that turns them into such reprehensible dirtbags... oh, wait. They’re lawyers. Duh.
They sure got to him. Prolly threatened him with hillary’s killer squad.
Isn’t he a convicted felon now? He can’t vote.
He needs to quit while he's ahead.
He keeps talking and his future looks bleak.
“Cohen, for for years identified as a Democrat, told CNN on Friday that he made the party switch at the request of the GOP’s committee when he joined the organization.”
So let’s see. When Trump first decided to run for President, the GOP committee got Cohen, who had been a Democrat to switch party. to be Deputy Finance Chairman of the Repub Party. Seriously, so many people out there qualified for the position and they recruit Cohen. They knew the dirt on Stormy and money paid- and it would all come out if Trump won election.
Then they recruit Sessions to be a plant and weasel his way to Trump to be the AG to prevent any and all criminal charges for Clinton, FBI, Obama, etc by recusing himself.
The DEMS AND GOP working against the person 62M people elected to be President.
I saw an honest lawyer once, standing next to a unicorn.
