Donald Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen referred to President
Trump as a racist, con man, and cheat during his opening statement
before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, February 27.
Cohen said:
“I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump’s
illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience. I am ashamed
because I know what Mr. Trump is.”
Cohen adds: “He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat.”
Cohen also said President Trump knew his longtime political advisor
Roger Stone was in contact with Wikileaks during the 2016 campaign about
possible dirt on Hillary Clinton.
He said:
“He was a presidential candidate who knew Roger Stone was talking
with Julian Assange about Wikileaks drop on Democratic National
Committee emails.”
Roger Stone has denied working with Wikileaks.
Cohen also brought documentation to show the president reimbursed him for hush money payments made during the campaign.
