Trump's legal team bracing for Cohen to cooperate with federal investigation: report



President Trump's legal team is bracing for the possibility that Michael Cohen could flip on the president and cooperate with prosecutors, according to a New York Times report.

Cohen, a longtime personal attorney and fixer for Trump, has repeatedly pledged his loyalty to the president, insisting that he would go to any length to protect his former boss.

But now, as details of a months-long criminal probe into Cohen's work emerge, Trump's lawyers and advisers have come to terms with the idea that Cohen could ultimately cooperate with investigators.

Sam Nunberg, a former aide to President Trump's campaign, told the Times that such a prospect puts Cohen in an unusual position of leverage over the president.
