As investigations and allegations against former Republican President Donald Trump have continued to mount, many have begun to wonder when, if ever, Trump will finally face repercussions.
If Trump's former attorney and confidante Michael Cohen is to be believed, it may be sooner than most of us think—and Trump will take everyone he can down with him.
As a new criminal investigation encircles the former President, Cohen issued a warning during a television appearance, seen below, to all in Trump's orbit.
.@MichaelCohen212 on the new NY State criminal investigation into the Trump Organization: \u2018I think Donald Trump is going to flip on all of them\u2019\n\n#TheReidOut #reiderspic.twitter.com/VvxzhNZGtW— The ReidOut (@The ReidOut) 1621468164
Cohen's comments came during an appearance on MSNBC's The Reid Out. He and host Joy Reid discussed New York Attorney General Letitia James' announcement on Tuesday that the state's investigation into the Trump Organization transitioned from a civil to a criminal investigation.
That, according to Cohen, is the last straw for Trump. He said the family patriarch will throw anyone and everyone he can under the bus to try to save himself.
As he put it to Reid:
"I think Donald Trump is going to flip on all of them, including his children... I really believe that Donald Trump cares for only himself, and he realizes that his goose is cooked.
Cohen went on to say he thinks Trump will first blame Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg and others privy to his finances.
But it's when the investigation moves to Trump's taxes Cohen says will be the true clincher.
That's when Trump will turn on his inner circle—including his own flesh and blood.
"He's going to turn on his accountant and point the finger. He's going to say, 'Don Jr. handled that, Ivanka handled that. Melania. Don't take me. Take Melania.' He's going to tell them to take everyone except for himself. That's just the kind of guy he is."
Cohen credited his own involvement in the investigations for the fallout he predicts.
"I do have to say that my credibility, I believe, is going to end up getting Donald, Don Jr., Ivanka, Jared, Eric, Weisselberg, his kids, some orange jumpsuits."
On Twitter, Cohen's comments caused quite a stir.

Michael Cohen predicts Trump will flip on his own children. While we know there is no honor among thieves, even your own children are expendable if you\u2019re a malignant narcissist. They\u2019re that inhuman— Duty To Warn \ud83d\udd09 (@Duty To Warn \ud83d\udd09) 1621510202
Michael Cohen said what most people presumably already believe. Trump would even flip on the Spawn of Donnie Dangerous. The open question is, in what order? Ivanka would be last, yes?— Don Lewis (@Don Lewis) 1621511535
I believe he would absolutely throw everyone under the bus. When you have never said you were wrong. When you always blame others. When you lie about everything. Why would he change now?— Jervis Cole (@Jervis Cole) 1621517627
I believe this 1000% unless Princess Barbie has already flipped on him.— EyesWideOpen (@EyesWideOpen) 1621515779
I sincerely hope that the jumpsuit complements his orange complexion. And I am sure that the rest of the family will find just the "right" accessories in one of many of Ivanka's businesses— Proud Democrat \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 \u262e\ufe0f We are all in this together (@Proud Democrat \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 \u262e\ufe0f We are all in this together) 1621544190

Cohen—once a part of Trump's inner circle—turned on Trump himself in 2018, including providing taped conversations with Trump to authorities.
Cohen is serving a three-year sentence for his involvement in campaign-finance violations related to Trump's hush-money payments to two of his alleged mistresses.
