- Donald Trump's former lawyer has removed all references to Donald Trump from his social media biographies.
- The change on Michael Cohen's Twitter and LinkedIn comes four days after he publicly cut ties to Trump in a rare interview.
- Cohen is currently being investigated for potentially breaking campaign finance laws and committing fraud for the president.
- Many legal experts also believe that Cohen may be ready to "flip" on Trump and cooperate with Robert Mueller's separate investigation into Trump.
Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney to Donald Trump, has removed all mention of the president from his social media biographies, further stoking theories that he is ready to turn on the president in an ongoing criminal investigation.
Cohen's Twitter bio previously identified him as the "personal attorney to President Donald J. Trump," with an image of Cohen standing on a Trump campaign podium as his banner image.
The change in Cohen's social media happened on the Fourth of July, CNN reported.

Cohen also removed a reference to Trump on his LinkedIn page, CNN reported. The page now simply states Cohen's job as "Attorney," where it used to say: "Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump."
As of Thursday, the page also noted that Cohen had terminated his employment as Trump's personal attorney and a special counsel at the Trump Organization.

The changes on Cohen's social media pages comes four days after he publicly broke with the president in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
He told the host: "My daughter, and my son and this country have my first loyalty."
Cohen previously said he would "take a bullet" for Trump.
He is currently the focus of an investigation by federal officials in New York into whether he violated campaign finance laws, committed bank fraud, wire fraud, illegal lobbying, or other crimes.
The FBI raided his home, office, and hotel room in April, and seized about four million documents.
Cohen is also reportedly ending a joint defense agreement with Trump, which allowed the two parties' lawyers to share information with each other.
Legal experts consider this a sign that Cohen is ready to "flip" on Trump and cooperate in the government's investigation into Trump's possible ties to Russia.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating the Trump election campaign's possible ties to Russia.
At the center of the Cohen investigation is a $130,000 payment he facilitated to porn star Stormy Daniels, weeks before the 2016 presidential election, in an attempt to keep her quiet about her alleged 2006 affair with Trump.
Michael Avenatti, Daniels' attorney, said earlier this week that Cohen's "loyalties still lie with the president."
Avenatti claimed that Cohen would eventually "flip" on Trump, but that "he will do it to only when he has to - in order to save himself."
