WATCH: Michael Cohen Says He'll Change His Name, Flee The Country If Trump Wins In November - 'I Have No Choice'

On Wednesday, former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen revealed to MSNBC that he is planning to flee the country under a different name if 45th President Donald Trump wins a second term in November. The comment comes after Cohen, a longtime Trump critic, testified against his former employer during the hush money case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) earlier this year.

"What do you think happens to you if he wins?" MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace asked Trump's former fixer.

"I'm out of here," Cohen responded. "I'm already working on a foreign passport with a completely different name. I don't know how it's going to work as far as dealing with my wife and my children. I certainly don't want them moving to where I'm looking to go. But I don't think yourself, the president of MSNBC, General Milley, you know, Liz Cheney. How many people has he turned around and said that this is? These are people that I intend to go after if I have the ability to."

Cohen then argued that the Supreme Court's recent immunity decision would allow Trump to do whatever he wished and target political rivals. As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, the court ruled in a 6-3 decision along ideological lines that Trump is granted immunity for "official acts" while not being granted immunity for "unofficial acts."

"And the worst is the Supreme Court's recent decision that gave him immunity, presidential immunity," Cohen said. "Now he thinks it's, not only is it, I can do whatever I want, but I can't even be prosecuted. It's a get-out-of-jail-free card solely for the president."

"So you're out of here? You'd leave the country?" Wallace asked. "I have no choice," he responded. Earlier this year, lawmakers who served on the January 6 Select Committee said they, too, feared being targeted by a future Trump administration.

"My wife and I have had conversations about what life would look like if the worst happened," Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who routinely lied to the American people to push the Russia collusion conspiracy theory, said. "You can't avoid the conversations about 'What if?' And I have to think about my own personal safety."

Another lawmaker who sat on the committee, House Democratic Caucus Chair Rep. Pete Aguillar (D-CA), explained to CBS that he takes Trump's threats seriously. He told reporters that if he was sent to a local D.C. jail, "My family has told me that they're going to come to D.C. either way—and they'll visit me, no matter where I am."

"One of the things that I observed during our January 6 committee work was that when Trump says something, he intends to do it," Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said. "I take that lesson to heart. When he says various things, I think that's what he means he'll do."

Democrat lawmakers and anti-Trump figures like Michael Cohen have bought into their own narrative that Trump is a "threat to democracy" and that his election would be an existential threat when, in fact, the exact opposite is true. A second Trump administration will bring common sense and America First policies back to the White House, and Michael Cohen will have to watch from abroad as Trump makes America great again.
