Trump’s disgraced fixer says: I’m done with lying

DONALD Trump’s former personal lawyer says he bought the silence of two women because Mr Trump was “very concerned” about how their stories of alleged affairs with him would affect his election chances.

Michael Cohen was sentenced on Wednesday to three years in federal prison. He pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations and lying to Congress.

Prosecutors have said the US president directed him to buy the silence of porn actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal in the run-up to the 2016 campaign.

Cohen says he is angry with himself. Mr Trump’s former “fixer” said: “I am done with the lying. I am done being loyal to President Trump.”
