Michael Cohen's lawyer accuses Rudy Giuliani of 'witness tampering,' calls him 'unhinged'
Filed under: News, Politics, 2016 Election
Michael Cohen’s lawyer Lanny Davis slammed Rudy Giuliani in a fiery interview Thursday, calling him “unhinged” and saying he should be “indicted for witness tampering.”
His impassioned comments came days after President Trump’s personal attorney made comments suggesting Cohen’s father-in-law was involved in organized crime.
“Giuliani, who is half unhinged or 100% unhinged to begin with, goes on national television and suggests a connection to organized crime because he’s a Ukrainian,” Davis said in an interview with George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America.”
Davis didn’t spare Trump either.
The lawyer said the president “indisputably intimidates and obstructs justice to prevent a witness from testifying.”
The commander in chief wrote on Twitter last week to “watch” Cohen’s father-in-law. He has also suggested that Cohen’s father-in-law and wife have ties to organized crime.
Cohen on Wednesday postponed his much-awaited testimony before Congress due to threats made against his family, Davis said. The testimony was scheduled to take place early next month.
"Does the American people, even Trump voters, have any sympathy for attacking a man’s family?" Davis said. "Does any American Trump or non-Trump supporter support that kind of demagogic, reckless interference with Congress as well as obstruction of justice?"
