Michael Cohen, a former personal lawyer to Donald Trump, has set out why he believes Trump won’t run again in 2024. Cohen says it would “destroy the great grift”.Since leaving office, Donald Trump has repeatedly messaged his supporters and begged for donations to fight his various legal woes or support his bid to fight “the great lie”.Once someone announces they are running for office, any money they raise through campaigning or political action committees (PAC) becomes subject to rigorous protocols.
In short, it should only be used for campaigning purposes. At the moment, as he’s not a candidate, Trump can spend almost all the money raised however he likes.Talking to MSNBC’s Ali Velsh, Cohen said, “It would destroy the great grift.
If he runs, all the money would then have to go into a campaign fund. People would have to start expressing who they are, and it becomes listed.
They don’t want that any more than he wants that.”He continued, “It’s a slush fund. He can buy himself a new airplane, or he can use the money to fix his old airplane right now.”Related: Trump’s ex-attorney Michael Cohen makes his debut on OnlyFans with gay adult film starCohen was formerly a Trump acolyte.
