m Michael Cohen’s memoir about President Donald Trump will be released Sept. 8 by Skyhorse Publishing. The book, called “Disloyal: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump,” was Cohen described Thursday by Skyhorse as “Accounts that only someone who worked for Trump around the clock for a decade — not a few months or even a couple of years — could know.” On Thursday, Cohen released the book’s foreword, writing of his estranged former boss, “He wouldn’t mind if I was dead.” Cohen is completing the last two years of a three-year prison sentence at home after pleading guilty to campaign finance charges and lying to Congress. He was released from prison in May amid coronavirus fears, only to be returned in July after making it known that he planned to publish “Disloyal.” The U.S. government dropped its effort to silence Cohen late last month after an agreement was reached between government lawyers and Cohen attorney Danya Perry that lifted a ban on Cohen speaking publicly. Cohen’s charges stemmed from his efforts to arrange payouts during the 2016 presidential race to keep adult film actress Stormy Daniels and model Karen McDougal from speaking out about their alleged extramarital affairs with Trump, who has denied the affairs. Cohen has said that Trump directed him to make the payments. Skyhorse has a history of taking on books by controversial public figures, including a memoir this spring by Woody Allen that had been dropped by Hachette Book Group.

■ President Donald Trump on Friday paid a visit to his younger brother, Robert Trump, at the New York hospital where he has been hospitalized. The president entered New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan wearing a mask on Friday afternoon. “I hope he’s OK, ”Trump said shortly before arriving at the hospital. “He’s having a tough time.” The hospital visit came ahead of Trump’s scheduled weekend trip to his private golf club in Bedminster, N.J. The White House did not immediately release details about why Robert Trump, who is 72, had been hospitalized, but officials said that he was seriously ill. Robert Trump, one of the president’s four siblings, had previously worked for his older brother as a top executive at the Trump Organization. Once a regular name in Manhattan’s social pages, he has kept a lower profile in recent years. He married his longtime girlfriend, Ann Marie Pallan, in March. He divorced his first wife, Blaine Trump, more than a decade ago. In a 2016 interview with the New York Post, he described himself as a big supporter of his brother’s run for the White House, saying “I support Donald one thousand percent.”
