Cohen claims in new book that Trump is 'guilty of the same crimes' as him | TheHill
President Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen said the president is “guilty of the same crimes” that landed him in federal prison, according to the Associated Press, who obtained an early copy of Cohen’s tell-all memoir.
In the book, titled “Disloyal: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump,” Cohen accused the president of corruption and fraud, according to an excerpt released last month.
Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations in 2018 and turned on Trump amid his legal ordeal, testifying before Congress and accusing the president of ordering him to make payments to two women who claimed they had affairs with Trump.
According to the AP, Cohen refers to himself as the “star witness” of a hush-money conspiracy that could lead to charges against the president once he’s out of office.
“It never pays to settle these things, but many, many friends have advised me to pay,” Trump said, according to Cohen. “If it comes out, I’m not sure how it would play with my supporters. But I bet they’d think it’s cool that I slept with a porn star.”
