Christie: It sounds like Mueller has corroborating evidence against Trump beyond Cohen
By Megan Keller - 12/09/18 10:58 AM EST
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) said Sunday that the language federal prosecutors are using to refer to President Trump in an indictment against Michael Cohen makes it sound as if they might have corroborating evidence that the president violated campaign finance law.
"The language in the sentencing memo is different from what we've heard before," Christie told ABC's "This Week," noting that Trump's former attorney Cohen has previously said he violated campaign finance law at the president's direction. "The only thing that would concern me if I was the president's team this morning about this sentencing memo is the language."
"The language sounds very definite," Christie said. "And what I'd be concerned about is, what corroboration do they have?"
"Because everyone knows that Michael Cohen is not going to be the most effective or trustworthy witness on the stand, given some of his past statements," Christie said. "[W]hen prosecutors sound that definitive they've got more usually than just one witness."
