Cohen to Mar-a-Lago co-defendants: ‘Run’ from Trump or ‘end up behind bars’
by Julia Shapero - 07/28/23 10:36 AM ET
Michael Cohen, former President Trump’s longtime fixer and now a key witness in the criminal case against him in Manhattan, warned the former president’s co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago documents case to “run” or “end up behind bars.”
“Sadly, I’ve made this statement to many different people, starting with like Rudy ‘Collude-y’ Giuliani and so many others,” Cohen said on CNN on Friday. “Walt Nauta, run. Carlos [De Oliveira], run.”
Nauta and De Oliveira were accused of helping Trump attempt to delete surveillance footage at Mar-a-Lago in a superseding indictment filed Thursday. Nauta, a Trump aide, was named in the previous version of the indictment, but De Oliveira, the property manager at the resort, was a new addition.
“First of all, he’s not going to get you an attorney,” Cohen said, in response to a portion of the indictment that noted that Trump had called De Oliveira and told him he would get him an attorney.
