Trump is the liar, says his ex-lawyer

DONALD TRUMP knew that making hush payments to two women during the 2016 presidential election was wrong, his longtime lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen said yesterday.

Cohen swept aside the president’s claims of innocence for campaign finance offences that helped earn the lawyer a three-year prison sentence. ‘The people of the United States of America, the people of the world, don’t believe what he’s saying,’ the 52-year-old told ABC News.

‘The man doesn’t tell the truth. And it’s sad that I should take responsibility for his dirty deeds.’

Mr Trump denies asking him to pay porn star Stormy Daniels and model Karen McDougal.
