Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Sunday that President Trump should be worried about prosecutors linking him to his former attorney Michael Cohen's criminal activities.
"You're not totally clear," Christie said on ABC's "This Week."
On Friday, Trump responded to a pair of sentencing memos from federal prosecutors following Cohen guilty pleas by writing on Twitter, "Totally clears the President. Thank you!"
Cohen pleaded guilty in August to financial crimes including a campaign finance violation for his work to pay women alleging affairs with Trump during the 2016 campaign. Trump argues there was no crime, and that silencing the women was not linked to his campaign.
Christie, a Republican who briefly led Trump's presidential transition team, said the sentencing memo filed against Cohen in New York features surprisingly strong language. Christie said that makes him suspect that federal prosecutors in New York may have corroborated Cohen's claim that he violated campaign finance law "in coordination with and at the direction of" Trump.
