Michael Cohen, who was once a lawyer and director for Donald Trump, believes the Supreme Court would expose his corruption if it gets involved in the former president’s legal battle with the FBI over top-secret documents found at Mar-a-Lago. Cohen commented in a TikTok video on Tuesday about Trump’s request that the Supreme Court intervene in his dispute with the FBI over the seizure of more than 11,000 records from Mar-a-Lago. The remarks came after the US Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit overturned Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision to include about 100 classified documents in the master’s special review, halting their use in the criminal investigation. Trump is now trying to get the Supreme Court to keep those documents under the special master’s purview. “Delay, delay, delay, that’s what he’ll do,” Cohen said, referring to Trump. “That’s exactly what he’s doing in any case. He’s going to drag it now as far as he can.” In September, Cohen admitted that he had helped Trump create a “playbook” for dealing with legal problems, which included delaying lawsuits as a tactic to avoid prosecution. Cohen said Trump’s request to the Supreme Court was his “unique move,” but also weighed in on what could happen with the court’s decision. “If the Supreme Court ends up listening to this bullshit, the fact that this fucking moron might have top secret documents that violate the Presidential Records Act, as well as the National Archives with their multiple subpoenas, requests, etc. etc. for the documents to be returned, we’ll know the fucking Supreme Court is corrupt,” Cohen said Tuesday. He added that if the Supreme Court stepped in and sided with Trump, all the justices on the bench would “have to go.” A spokesman for Trump’s post-presidential office did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment. The Justice Department has been looking into whether Trump violated any of three federal laws — including the Espionage Act — by keeping classified documents at his Florida residence. In 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to felonies, including tax evasion, campaign finance violations, and bank fraud. It was him he was sentenced in December that year to three years in prison and was released in February 2019 from the Supreme Court of New York. Since his release, Cohen has become an outspoken critic of Trump and cheered on the former president’s many legal troubles. In September, he also announced that he would be selling T-shirts depicting Trump behind bars to “celebrate the fall of the mango Mussolini.”
