Cohen says Trump calls for protest against Manhattan DA probe signals desire for 'violent clash' on

his behalf

Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen said on Saturday that former President Trump’s calls for a protest against the Manhattan district attorney’s probe signals a desire for “another violent clash” on his behalf.

“It’s eerily similar to the battle cry that he put out just prior to the January 6th insurrection, you know, especially including the call, you know, for protest,” Cohen said in an interview with MSNBC. “And I agree … it would have been smart for Donald to write ‘peaceful protest,’ but he doesn’t want a peaceful protest.”

Trump said in a post on Truth Social earlier in the day that he expects to be arrested next week as part of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation into a hush-money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 campaign.

The former president claimed that “illegal leaks” indicate that “the far & away leading Republican candidate & former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week” and called for his supporters to protest and “take our nation back.”

Maybe it's ironically fitting that his rally next week is going to be in Waco.
