President Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, denies that he wanted a job at the White House after Trump was elected in 2016
Washington "I was extremely proud to be the personal attorney for the President of the United States of America. I did not want to go to the White House. I was offered jobs," Cohen claimed."I can tell you a story of Mr. Trump reaming out Reince Priebus because I had not taken a job where Mr. Trump wanted me to, which was working with Don McGahn in the White House Counsel office," Cohen continued.
Cohen on Wednesday provided Congress checks that were given to him over a"retainer" period, one of which was signed by Trump. But Cohen conceded that there was no retainer agreement for his legal services, and the retainer payments were, in part, reimbursements for payments to Stephanie Clifford, known also as Stormy Daniels, who was compensated as part of a hush agreement over an alleged affair between Daniels and Trump.
