'Racist, conman, cheat': Former fixer Cohen unloads on Trump before Congress | KnottMatthew
Roger Stone, former adviser to Donald Trump, had informed Trump of his contact with WikiLeaks, Cohen said."Mr Trump did not directly tell me to lie to Congress," Cohen said. "That’s not how he operates."
Cohen did say that Trump had implicitly directed him to lie about plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow by saying privately that he had no business interests in Russia despite both men knowing that was untrue.He added: "Questions have been raised about whether I know of direct evidence that Mr Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia. I do not."
Cohen said that Trump did not expect to win the Republican primary or the general election and only ran for office to increase his profile. "He had no desire or intention to lead this nation – only to market himself and to build his wealth and power," Cohen said. "Mr Trump would often say, this campaign was going to be the 'greatest infomercial in political history'."Among the documents Cohen presented were cheques signed by Trump reimbursing him for hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to stop her going public about an affair with Trump.The payments were "part of a criminal scheme to violate campaign finance laws", Cohen said.
