Responding to Michael Cohen’s sentencing hearing on Wednesday, MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace asked a simple question of Trump biographer Tim O’Brien: “Does it look to you like Donald Trump knows that he’s ‘bleeped’?”

“Oh, I think it definitely looks like he knows he’s ‘bleeped,'” O’Brien, who wrote the 2005 book “TrumpNation,” said. “And he’s cornered. And he’s spent a year and a half pointing at the Mueller investigation on a routine basis, nonstop, as a being witch hunt. And any time he starts tweeting at the investigation, or tweeting at the investigators, it’s usually when there’s a big shoe about to drop.”
