Trump claims that an unreleased manuscript from Cohen 'is exact opposite of his fake testimony, which now is a lie!'
President Donald Trump on Friday launched his first Twitter attacks against Michael Cohen since his former longtime lawyer and fixer provided riveting testimony about their relationship before Congress.
Cohen is scheduled to be incarcerated in May for a three-year prison term. But on Wednesday, he appeared before the House Oversight Committee in a public hearing to testify that his former boss was a"racist" and a"con man" who committed potentially criminal activity since becoming president. "Wow, just revealed that Michael Cohen wrote a 'love letter to Trump' manuscript for a new book that he was pushing," Trump claimed."Book is exact opposite of his fake testimony, which now is a lie!"
In 2017, Trump said"there were very fine people, on both sides" of a violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, in which one counter-protester was killed. In Helsinki, Trump appeared to accept as genuine Russian President Vladimir Putin's denial that the Kremlin meddled in the 2016 election — a position that broke with American intelligence.
The suggestion that the alleged manuscript, written before the falling out between Cohen and Trump, would not match Cohen's sworn testimony Wednesday is likely."The last time I appeared before Congress, I came to protect Mr. Trump," Cohen said."Today, I'm here to tell the truth about Mr. Trump."
