Trump sounds like a mobster with ‘rat’ rhetoric, Michael Cohen’s adviser says

Published



President Trump sounds like a mobster for calling Michael Cohen a “rat,” says an adviser to the one-time Trump lawyer and fixer.

“This is a top law enforcement officer in our system of government calling somebody who decides to tell the government the truth ‘a rat.’ That’s language of a mobster, not of the president,” Lanny Davis told CBS News on Sunday of his client. “But Michael Cohen took ownership and personal responsibility for lying, and he’s going to jail as consequence.”
