Michael Cohen has found refuge in his former boss’s critics.
Cohen, President Trump’s former personal lawyer, was seen in photos on Twitter hanging out with comedian Tom Arnold, a strong opponent of Trump who is working on a show centered around hunting for the much-talked about “pee tape,” Talking Points Memo reported Friday.
Arnold said that they met regarding the new show, “The Hunt for the Trump Tapes,” according to NBC. He didn’t say whether Cohen would share with him any information for the show, but added, “This dude has all the tapes — this dude has everything.”

Arnold also noted that Cohen has been feeling worn down by New York prosecutors, as they investigate him for possible bank fraud and campaign finance violations.
“I say to Michael, ‘Guess what? We’re taking Trump down together, and he’s so tired he’s like, ‘OK,’ and his wife is like, ‘OK, f—- Trump,’” he told NBC.
He continued: “Michael Cohen showed up and worked diligently above and beyond and sacrificed and Donald Trump is like I don’t even know who he is. You think Michael doesn’t notice that?”
