'Boris is a moron': Former Trump lawyer trashes latest 'quarterback' of ex-president's legal strategy
Former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen immediately laughed when MSNBC host Katie Phang brought up Boris Epshteyn, a member of the twice-indicted former president's inner circle on Sunday morning -- and then proceeded to trash his former colleague.
Discussing the turnover amongst Trump's lawyers as he faces a slew of indictments and civil suits, Phang brought up Epshteyn, stating, "Boris has now been called kind of the gatekeeper, the quarterback of the Trump's legal team," which caused Cohen to laugh.
"I like to think in a lot of ways, when you worked with Donald though, you were a consigliere. You were somebody who was there, who was overseeing a lot of stuff that was going on in Trump's world. In your opinion has Boris tried to take over the reins from you as he tried to fill-in shoes that you actually were filling working as personal counsel for Donald Trump?" she pressed.
"Right. So good luck because Boris is a moron," Cohen immediately shot back.
"Sadly when Boris became part of the campaign, Boris, as I like to refer to him and others, was like the little lapdog that was trying to figure out how to get close to Donald's leg," he smirked. "And now that he's there he has no real experience."
"I mean, he may be a lawyer and maybe --I don't know if I would even consider him smart -- but and one thing he's not is strategic. Because everything that's happened to Donald over the course of, we'll call it 'Boris' brain' has not inured to Donald's benefit, not one iota," he added.
