Trump on Cohenโ€™s testimony: โ€˜He liedโ€™ and โ€˜no collusionโ€™

TestHostEntry

Hanoi | President Donald Trump sought again to discredit Michael Cohen on Thursday after his former long-time lawyerโ€™s bombshell congressional testimony in which he called Trump a racist and a conman.

โ€œHe lied a lot,โ€ Trump told a press conference in Vietnam after his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Trump insisted Cohenโ€™s testimony Wednesday had provided no evidence the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia in the 2016 US election and that this is what mattered most in the keenly awaited session before a House committee.

Cohen, who also worked as Trumpโ€™s fixer, told lawmakers he had no direct knowledge of collusion but that he had suspicions.

Trump however insisted his former lawyer said no collusion had taken place.

โ€œAnd I was a little impressed by that. He could have gone all-out. He went 95% instead of 100%. The fact is, there is no collusion,โ€ said Trump.

โ€œHe didnโ€™t lie about one thing. He said, no collusion with the Russian hoax. And I said, I wonder why he didnโ€™t lie about that, too, like everything else,โ€ said Trump.

The president did not address any of Cohenโ€™s specific, damning allegations about his decade of working with Trump.

Cohen said for instance that Trump directed him last year to lie about hush payments made to a porn actress to silence her claims of an affair with Trump.

He also said Trump knew in advance in mid-2016 that WikiLeaks would publish emails stolen from rival Hillary Clintonโ€™s campaign by the Russians.

And Cohen asserted that personal lawyers for Trump and his family reviewed and edited his written testimony to Congress in 2017 in which he lied about a Moscow real estate deal that was negotiated through the presidential election.

The president complained that the Cohen testimony took place during the summit with Kim.

โ€œI think having a fake hearing like that and having it in the middle of this very important summit is really a terrible thing,โ€ Trump said.

Trump again insisted the probe into Russian collusion is a โ€œhoaxโ€ and a โ€œwitch hunt.โ€
