Former Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen, who was previously found guilty of lying to Congress, recently made a claim to MSNBC that the 45th president would rather his son Don Jr. go to jail over his daughter Ivanka in a “Worst case scenario.”
The instruction was supposedly given by Trump when his children were reportedly on the verge of being indicted by the Manhattan district attorney’s office in 2012, according to Cohen.
Cohen told MSNBC’s Alex Witt, “You may recall that there was the district attorney’s case here for Trump SoHo where it was either Don or Ivanka was in very big trouble as a result of lying about the number of units that had been sold.”
“And Donald said it to me – I mean I wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t said directly to me – he goes, ‘If one or the other has to go to prison, make sure that it’s Don because Don would be able to handle it,'” Cohen claimed.
Witt was discussing the recent report about New York Attorney Letitia James taking “legal action” in an attempt to compel the three Trumps to testify in regards to a current investigation.
The claim by Cohen is not the first time that he has talked about Trump’s children in that sort of manner as last year he was asked which of Trump’s children “would go down first” to save himself.
In that scenario, Cohen also claimed that it would be Trump Jr., listing Eric and Ivanka as the next ones that he would sacrifice.

Cohen echoed those claims in the MSNBC interview as well as he suggested that “Donald cares only about Donald, more than he would care about his children.”
