Michael Cohen said he believes federal investigators will find «a lot of information» by probing the «unholy» relationship.
Donald Trump’s ex-lawyer Michael Cohen said the Department of Justice (DOJ) should probe Jared Kushner’s ties to Saudi Arabia after the former president was indicted for allegedly mishandling classified documents post-presidency on Thursday.
A grand jury indicted Trump on 37 charges ranging from willful retention of classified documents to obstruction charges in connection to the investigation into whether he mishandled classified documents after leaving office in January 2021 led by special counsel Jack Smith. Federal prosecutors are accusing the former president of mishandling sensitive presidential records and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them. Trump, however, has maintained his innocence, accusing prosecutors of investigating him for political reasons.
«I think the DOJ should be, if they’re not already, looking at the unholy relationship that exists between Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman, and Jared Kushner,» Cohen said.
He continued to say why he believes why this aspect of the investigation could be necessary, explaining: «I mean this whole $2 billion to an unqualified hedge funder makes no sense to me.
