allegations that were made concerning him in the dossier. what s not in dispute is that over the years, cohen has used tough tactics in an effort to protect donald trump. now to a war of words between a beauty queen and organizers of the miss usa pageant. pennsylvania s representative claims the competition is rigged. two days after competing in the 2012 miss usa pageant, a woman resigned her title saying she heard from another contestant the top five finishers were predetermined. i would like the truth to be made known. in response to her claims, her father said cohen called and read him the riot act. it s terrifying for someone like michael cohen working for someone like donald trump to get you on the phone and intimidate you. part of what a lawyer in that position is supposed to be doing is intimidating people. to keep them away from the king.
businesses, he still is fighting for attorney/client privilege with cohen. one thing is clear, michael cohen had very deep ties to donald trump. i asked him if there was something that would perhaps make him stray away from this public persona as an incredibly loyal figure in donald trump s life. the response he gave back to me was that he would take a bullet for the president. when he said it, he sounded like he meant it. if evidence gathered leads to charges and cohen is convicted, he could ultimately face prison time. that has president trump, his inner circle and many other observers asking a simple question. could michael cohen flip? everybody flips. what is he worried michael cohen could flip over? if he flips, you are in trouble. when we come back, what s next for the attorney and the client? our panel of experts weighs in. david.

welcome back to headliners. one question is asked again and again. what does he do for his most famous client? he has been called aggressive, brash, brazen. there are reports cohen likes one comparison to a character played by robert duval in a classic gangster film. some people refer to michael cohen as the tom hagen character. from the god father. i have a special practice. i handle one client. someone who will do what is necessary to protect the man he serves. that role is one that cohen gladly played for years. he is someone who is a pit bull. this is someone who never shied away from a fight.
and then who knows what falls between 2006 and 2016 and what tapes he has, but they ll put it all together and they ll not only serve it up to him and say, you re looking at a long jail sentence i think they will also use other evidence to say, trump doesn t really respect you, he s treated you poorly, he didn t bring you into the white house, you shouldn t be giving up your life for him, all the kinds of tricks of the trade the feds know how to use against say the sammy the bulls of the world i think will now be deployed against michael cohen. another thing we re learning and i want to go to meghan on this, some news from the national enquirer i will hold up talks about secrets and lies of fixer, michael cohen, not known for its journalism or veracity, rather because it is still
