This is Michael Cohen and you're listening to the mayor called the podcast.

The first time Donald Trump was deposed by attorney general Tish James of New York,

who spent more than two years calling him an invertebrate fraudster.

The former president pleaded the fifth amendment repeatedly, but in a second deposition held

this past April, the AG's office couldn't get him to shut up, including about the beautiful

marble bathrooms and his tremendous properties, a newly released transcript showed.

In a seven hour grilling, that's a prelude to Trump's minimum $250 million civil fraud

trial on October 2nd, his answers were so long winded that one of James's lawyers

said aloud if he didn't speed it up, everyone in the room would be here until midnight.

So I had a chance to bruise the details of the deposition, and Trump must have taken

his crazy pills that day.

As lawyers from the office grilled him on the inner workings of the family business, which

is accused of inflating his net worth by billions of dollars.

Trump responded with a series of meandering bullshit, political non-self, and well of course,

self-aggrandizing mumbo jumbo.

Now given the stakes, Trump should have been on his best behavior, but the 479 page document,

which was unsealed Thursday, shows Trump in real form.

In that form he's combative, he's rambling, he has very clearly gone insane.

And asked about his authority at the Trump Organization while he was in the White House.

Trump responded that he considered the presidency the most important job in the world, saving

millions of lives.

And I quote, I think you would have nuclear holocaust if I didn't deal with North Korea
