Michael Cohen's attorney on Wednesday said President Trump's widely criticized Helsinki press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin was a "turning point" in his decision to flip.

"I can tell you that Helsinki was a significant turning point as [Cohen] worried about the future of our country," Lanny Davis said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Davis said Cohen, Trump's former lawyer and fixer, was alarmed as he watched "the president of the United States aligning" with Putin, whom the U.S. intelligence community had concluded "interfered and tried to help get Trump elected."

He added that Trump "is the only one left" denying the election interference, and "that shook up Mr. Cohen."
