Cohen worked closely with Trump for years before turning against him, most publicly in testimony to Congress last year prior to Trump's impeachment.

Washington - Michael Cohen, US President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, is alleging in a new book that Trump made disparaging remarks about black world leaders including former South African President Nelson Mandela, as well as about US minorities in general, the Washington Post reported on Saturday.

According to the newspaper, Cohen wrote that following Mandela's death in 2013, Trump said:"Mandela f---ed the whole country up. Now it's a s---hole. F--- Mandela. He was no leader."
