Trump lambastes Cohen, pointing to reportedly favorable book written by his former lawyer

Washington • President Donald Trump sought to attack the credibility Friday of his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen by pointing to a book that he has reportedly proposed that depicts Trump far more favorably than did the scathing testimony he delivered to Congress this week.

"Book is exact opposite of his fake testimony, which now is a lie!" Trump said in morning tweets, in which he accused Cohen of committing perjury during a congressional hearing and called on Congress to demand the book manuscript, which Trump claimed was recently finished.

Wow, just revealed that Michael Cohen wrote a “love letter to Trump” manuscript for a new book that he was pushing.
