President Donald Trump took a hammer to his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who has come back into the spotlight again as he has offered testimony in the ongoing “hush money” nuisance case surrounding adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
“In the history of our Country there cannot have been a more damaged or less credible witness at trial than fully disbarred lawyer and felon, Michael Cohen,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“The Southern District of New York (SDNY) wrote a scathing assessment of him, including, ‘Michael Cohen is a lawyer who, rather than setting an example of respect for the law, instead chose to break the law, repeatedly over many years & in a variety of ways…Each of his crimes involved deception,’ & deception & lying is what he is doing here!” Trump continued.
Per Reuters, Cohen plead guilty in 2018 to campaign finance violations.
The 45th president continued, “Remember, Michael Cohen was a lawyer who also represented clients other than me, and who did business transactions for himself, like Taxi Cab Medallions, etc. I had nothing to do with his outside businesses. On three separate occasions, Cohen asked me to grant him a Presidential Pardon on events having to do with these outside interests. I said, correctly, ‘NO.’ Sometime after that he became a Fake Storyteller, and began to lie about events!”
Trump’s statements come amid tense speculation that he could be indicted in the near future as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is reportedly seeking to charge the president in relation to the years-old Stormy Daniels case.
On Monday, Trump wrote that Bragg “received in EXCESS OF ONE MILLION DOLLARS from Radical Left Enemy of ‘TRUMP,’ George Soros.”
As reported by RSBN, the $1 million donation from George Soros was allegedly funneled into Bragg’s office through the Color of Change PAC, which is reportedly funded by Soros.
