Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s longtime lawyer and fixer, assailed his former boss as a “racist” and a “conman” in explosive testimony before the US Congress Wednesday.
Addressing the House Oversight and Reform Committee, Cohen — who has been sentenced to jail for crimes related in part to his work for Trump — expressed regret for his past loyalty.
“I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump’s illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience,” Cohen said.
“He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat.”
Cohen said he was presenting “irrefutable” evidence of Trump’s wrongdoing including a check reimbursing “hush money” paid to two women shortly before the 2016 election.
He also said Trump directed negotiations for a Trump Tower in Moscow through the 2016 election campaign even while denying any business ties with the Russians.
