Michael Cohen friend explains why Russia is 'tip of the iceberg' and Saudi money will be found next

Longtime Michael Cohen friend Donny Deutsch offered a fascinating prediction about the next phase of the scandals enveloping President Donald Trump during an appearance on MSNBC's "The Beat" with Ari Melber.

"What are we to make of what Michael Cohen put out to the world today?" Melber asked.

"I have been saying this two years -- it is always about the money, always has been about the money and it is always about Russian money," Deutsch replied.

He then offered a prediction that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be the next country caught up in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigations.

"You'll start to see stories of Saudi money," he anticipated.

"Donald Trump went bankrupt in the nineties and couldn't get money anywhere," he explained. "Trump Tower is filled with apartment after apartment of LLCs of Russians."

"Donald Trump has been owned by the Russians for a long time," he concluded. "Donald Trump has been owned by Vladimir Putin."

"This is just the tip of the iceberg," he added. "I really believe, even post-Trump presidency, you're going to see the Trump business empire being picked apart for the next 20 years -- it is basically built as a criminal enterprise."
