TEHRAN, April 23 - New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said Monday morning that President Trump abuses everyone around him in his White House, including family, and said that raises the question of whether his lawyer, Michael Cohen, might decide to work with prosecutors against Trump.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - "He is abusive, according to almost everyone I speak to, to most people in his orbit, and family is not excepted from that," Haberman said on CNN.
"But he is particularly abusive to Cohen over the years, and then the question becomes, does that come back to haunt him."
Trump called out Haberman over the weekend, and accused her of being a "third rate reporter" and Hillary Clinton supporter who is trying to "destroy" Cohen. But Haberman rejected that accusation.
"The story was really not about, you know, destroying their relationship. The president has destroyed their relationship pretty handily on his own," she said.
She attributed Trump's Twitter comments to his growing anxiety over the Cohen investigation.
"I think that he and his lawyers are very anxious about the southern district investigation into Michael Cohen," she said. "That is right now more of an imminent threat than the Robert Mueller special counsel probe is."
