Trump's former attorney, who was imprisoned in 2018, warned the presidential candidate's new lawyer that he could end up like Cohen.

's Ari Melber about Trump stating in April 2018 that he knew nothing about the hush money payment to Daniels. The lawyer said it was"not a lie" as to tell the truth would"be violating the confidential settlement."

"What I will tell you emphatically is what Joe is doing right now is he's playing to a party of one, and that's Donald Trump," Cohen told the news channel on Wednesday."He will say the most ludicrous nonsense that you can say because that's what Donald wants to hear." The former lawyer, who has been critical of his ex-employer since being imprisoned, drew a comparison between right-leaning networks"that actually prefer you to say these things" and the likes of Melber who were"hitting back at your statements with facts."

"That does not benefit Donald; it doesn't benefit Tacopina," Cohen added."And if he doesn't watch himself, he may find himself like the rest of us."Daniels met with prosecutors investigating the payment on Wednesday, her lawyer confirmed. He said Daniels has"agreed to make herself available as a witness," in a further sign the Manhattan district attorney's office is gearing up to bring charges.

Emerging from the hearing on Wednesday, Cohen stressed that despite his estrangement from Trump, he was not out for revenge, telling AP:"This is not about him. This is about holding accountability, truth to power, and everything else in between."
