OP
CNN is asking that - are there threats other than what Trump has said publicly.

Jackie Spier was interviewed and said she feels like she's living in a Godfather movie.

Link to tweet
"WATCH FATHER IN LAW"
There is some context to that, but basically Trump is threatening Cohen's father in law.
The media DID report on that as witness tampering at the time.

The only question for.me would be have the threats been referred to the appropriate authorities (FBI and/or local law enforcement). If not, I would not take Cohen seriously. He could be trying to muddy the waters on behalf of Trump.

This was days ago:

Davis later told MSNBC that the comments were a definition of witness tampering and intimidation, and could be obstruction of justice.

Nobody needs to "investigate" what Trump posted on Twitter. Multiple commentators flagged it days ago as witness tampering.

(6,931 posts)7. I guess I just want someone on network nightly news to say
"After repeated threats by the President and his lawyer, it is not safe for Cohen to testify. Yes, the President of the United States has threatened a citizen to protect himself". Something like that.
