‘I got caught up in a cult’: Michael Cohen admitted to close friend Trump Organization was a ‘cult’

Longtime Donald Trump fixer Michael Cohen has reportedly said that the Trump Organization was like a "cult," one of his close friends explained on MSNBC's "Deadline: White House" on Wednesday.

Donny Deutsch is a longtime friend of Cohen who revealed the characterization after his friend was sentenced to three years in federal prison.

"He used a word to me a few weeks ago that he'd never used before -- he said it's like a cult," Deutsch revealed

"I got caught up in a cult," Cohen reportedly said.

"Let me ask you, because Donny called it a cult, Jim Comey called it a mob family," host Nicolle Wallace noted.

"What do you see?" Wallace asked Frank Figliuzzi, the former Assistant Director for Counterintelligence at the FBI.

"Well, there's close similarities between a cult and a mob family," Figliuzzi noted.

MSNBC national affairs analyst John Heilemann described it like a famous scene from the movie Goodfellas.
