Michael Cohen, former “fixer” and attorney for ex-President Donald Trump joins Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House to discuss the threat of Project 2025 and how his experience with the Justice Department during Trump’s first term is a preview of what could be in store for other Trump enemies in a second Trump presidency.
Michael Cohen asked the Supreme Court last month to take up his appeal against Donald Trump and others, seeking civil damages for alleged government retaliation during the former president's administration. Cohen picked up support this week from a group of constitutional scholars and former federal officials, who urged the justices to review the case.
“The extraordinary facts alleged here illustrate the essential necessity of deterrence to the rule of law,” they wrote: “The stakes could not be higher,” they went on, arguing that ruling against Cohen “sends a clear signal to federal actors that critics of the government can be punished without repercussion for exercising their constitutional rights.” In addition to Trump, Cohen sought damages against former Attorney General Bill Barr and other Trump-era officials.
