A recent chat on CNN’s Newsroom, Michael Cohen, former legal counsel to Donald Trump, openly discussed the heated talks between Trump and RNC chair Ronna McDaniel regarding certifying the 2020 election results in Michigan.
Host Jim Acosta drew comparisons to the infamous Georgia call, seeing it as part of Trump’s nationwide pressure campaign. Cohen, questioned by Acosta, shared his perspective on these unfolding events as of December 26, 2023.
Cohen drew parallels to Trump’s earlier talk with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, emphasizing the former president’s attempt to influence election outcomes.

He noted, It sounds exactly like the conversation that Donald had with Brad Raffensperger to apply pressure to obtain what he wants, and that was to be able to retain power.
Cohen highlighted a recurring theme in Trump’s actions – the pursuit of power by exerting pressure on electoral processes.
Referring to a supposed quote by Vladimir Putin, Cohen underscored Trump’s objective: not just winning but controlling the democratic process itself.
Cohen hinted at the existence of a damning recording, expressing confidence that it would not reflect well on Trump.
Despite consistent revelations, Cohen lamented that a group of Americans, known as MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters, remained staunch in their allegiance to Trump.
He expressed frustration, stating, There’s still this group of Americans, these MAGA supporters, that it doesn’t matter what they hear, it doesn’t matter what they see. They’re still so knee-deep into this dumpster cult of Donald that they refuse to extricate themselves.
Cohen’s choice of words, calling Trump’s support base knee-deep into this dumpster cult, adds a poignant dimension to discussions about Trump’s influence.
The characterization implies a level of blind loyalty that transcends rational judgment, portraying the challenges faced by those seeking to disentangle Trump’s political legacy from the fervent support he continues to enjoy.
As the nation grapples with the aftermath of the 2020 election and its enduring impact, Cohen’s insights serve as a stark reminder of the deep divisions and unwavering allegiances that persist post-Trump’s presidency.
The potential revelation of recordings and the anticipation of their content only serve to intensify the scrutiny surrounding Trump’s actions during this critical period in American history.
