Ivana, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump: Cohen's role in suspicious transactions can be revealed by Cohen's testimony, Omarosa speculates

Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman speculated on Saturday that Michael Cohen's next congressional testimony could shed light on the role of President Donald Trump's three eldest – Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr. – in potentially suspicious cases.

Cohen, Trump's longtime former personal and remedial attorney, is scheduled to testify publicly before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday and privately before the House Intelligence Committee the next day. The Oversight Committee said in recent days that Cohen's testimony would be limited to Trump's roles in the areas of "payments, financial information, compliance with campaign finance laws, business practices and other matters. ".

But Manigault Newman, whose relationship with Trump dates back to his appearance on L & # 39; s apprentice reality TV show in 2004, said on MSNBC that the relationship of Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump within the Trump organization could also be in the spotlight.

"I think Wednesday you'll see a man who wants to share the inner workings of the Trump crime family," Omarosa told animator Alex Witt. "I mean, he knows everything about this family and he will share, as the documents reveal, information about possible insurance fraud, tax evasion, the workings of their deal with Trump Moscow.

"I would be interested to see how much he shares the role of Trump's children in many of these transactions, including Senior Advisor Ivanka Trump, Jared, her husband, and the children: Don and Eric Trump."

Manigault Newman was speaking after a New York Times The Friday report said that Cohen had met with federal prosecutors in New York last month and had revealed new information about possible irregularities within the Trump organization. Cohen pleaded guilty in New York to having campaigned on funding laws relating to two payments made prior to the 2016 election to women who claimed to have had relations with Donald Trump, as well as to "pay for". to tax and bank offenses. In a separate case brought by special advocate Robert Mueller, Cohen pleaded guilty to having lied to Congress on the timeline of discussions with a view to building a Trump tower in Moscow, which was revealed until 2016.

Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump both said that they knew little about the proposed deal with Moscow. However, Cohen stated in his plea of ​​guilty to Mueller that he had informed the President's family members of the negotiations with the Russians.

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were appointed family-owned companies when Donald Trump became president in 2017 and created a blind trust.

Continuing on MSNBC, Manigault Newman suggested to Cohen to reveal details about the role of the president's family, which could lead to the explosion of the real estate mogul.

"There is no doubt that Donald Trump's big red line concerns his children, especially Ivanka," she said. "And once Michael Cohen starts to share details that might actually involve them, you'll see him really become, well, helpless."

Manigault Newman was fired from his role at the White House in December 2017 and is subsequently strongly criticized for the president in a book, Unhingedand an accompanying advertising tour.
