'A racist, conman and cheat': former Trump lawyer Cohen's scathing testimony against US PresidentUS President Donald Trump's disgraced former personal lawyer Michael Cohen has given a scathing assessment of his former boss to the US Congress. You mean Cohen lied? Wouldn’t that of been easier to say? Oh sorry doesn’t fit your narrative right? Eerie resemblance to one of those Nazi or Soviet show trials. The Democrats and the FAKENEWS are both clutching at straws

A testimony like Trump’s former lawyer’s 'has not been seen since Watergate' | Sky News AustraliaStephen Loosley says President Donald Trump’s former lawyer’s testimony will be ‘quite devastating’ and that ‘we haven’t seen anything like this since Watergate’.\n\nMichael Cohen will testify before Congress, alleging possible tax fraud and racist language by the President, according to US media.\n\nCohen was sentenced to three years in prison and will begin his custodial term in May over hush money payments to two women and a string of other crimes including tax evasion and lying to Congress.\n\n\n\n\n What's any of that got to do with Russia? Trump hardly knows Putin. Trump’s implemented policies make the US strong, not a win for Russia. In spite of attempts to claim that Putin interfered with voting machines, he didn’t. The collusion investigation is a hoax based on the Democrat funded & discredited Steele dossier. Alleging?

Former Trump lawyer to label the US President a 'conman' and 'racist'Donald Trump's former lawyer and fixer will tell Congress that he has suspicions that the US President or his campaign colluded with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton. What a joke - “has suspicions” - so no direct knowledge or proof of. I think he would say anything at all to try to reduce his sentence for lying. The irony. Considering cohens character that doesn’t really amount to much
