Despite President Donald Trump's Remarks, Michael Cohen Looks Ahead | Morning Joe | MSNBC In this intriguing segment of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Vanity Fair reporter Emily Jane Fox discusses the fallout following President Trump's controversial remarks about his former attorney, Michael Cohen. The exchange highlights the complex dynamics between Trump and Cohen, especially following a revealing interview that Trump gave on "Fox & Friends."

Summary of the Video​

Fox elaborates on how Trump's comments regarding Cohen's legal work have implications for both of their legal standings. Trump dismissed Cohen's role by suggesting that his legal work was minimal, essentially characterizing Cohen more as a businessman than a lawyer. This was particularly evident when Trump remarked about Cohen's representation in the infamous Stormy Daniels case, calling it "crazy." As the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that Cohen was perplexed by the president's unscripted interview, feeling it undermined their defenses, especially considering the timing with Cohen's own legal challenges. Emily Jane Fox notes Cohen's surprise and disappointment, especially after he had been dedicating significant time to preparing their legal responses.

Cohen's Legal Strategy and Risks​

The discussion further delves into the risks Cohen faces and whether there is potential for him to "flip" on Trump as investigations deepen. Interestingly, even with his loyalty consistently shown in interviews, the pressure of legal scrutiny weighs heavily on Cohen, creating potential fissures in their longstanding relationship. Fox also mentions an upcoming book, "Born Trump," which promises to provide more insider details on the dynamics within Trump's family and circle, particularly with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
