On CNN’s “New Day” on Thursday, the hosts of the show, apparently convinced that President Trump is intimidating his former attorney Michael Cohen into eschewing testifying against him, likened Trump to Mafia kingpin Michael Corleone in the film "The Godfather Part II" by playing a clip from the film showing Corleone intimidating a witness against him at a congressional hearing by having summoned the witness’ brother to the hearing.
As Newsbusters reports, here is how the exchange on “New Day” went:
CNN host John Berman: You know what this reminds me of? I didn't go to law school, but I did see Godfather II.
CNN host Avlon: I knew you were going there!
Berman: Because you're saying you don't specifically say I'm going to hurt the father-in-law —
CNN host Alisyn Camerota: You say it would sure be bad if the father-in-law got hurt.
Berman: Or you just put the person in the audience like they did with Frankie Pentangeli's brother. Watch this.
The clip from the film followed, with the following dialogue from the hearing:
U.S senator: Would you kindly identify for the committee the gentleman sitting to your left?
Tom Hagen, (Michael Corleone’s counselor): I can answer that. His name is Vincenzo Pentangeli.
Senator: Is he related to the witness?
Hagen: He is, I believe, his brother.
Berman chimed in, “All you do is you show the family member, you show that there might be a threat.”
