Donald Trump's former lawyer cast him as a racist and conman who used his inner circle to cover up politically damaging allegations about sex and lied about his business interests in Russia throughout his presidential campaign.
He likened the President to a"mobster" who demands blind loyalty from underlings and expects them to lie on his behalf to conceal information and protect him — even if it means breaking the law.In one revelation, Cohen said that prosecutors in New York were investigating conversations Mr Trump or his advisors had with him after his hotel room was raided for documents by the FBI last April.
But he declined to provide more specific details on grounds that the matter was under current investigation by federal prosecutors. From there, Mr Trump lashed out on Twitter, saying Cohen"did bad things unrelated to Trump" and"is lying in order to reduce his prison time".
