Article snippet: President Trump is slamming Michael Cohen, two days after his former personal attorney and fixer publicly testified before the House Oversight Committee. In a series of tweets Friday morning, Trump called Cohen’s testimony “fraudulent and dishonest” and accused him of perjuring himself. He claimed Cohen had pitched a book to publishers, the contents of which contradict the statements he made to members of Congress. According to the Associated Press, Cohen was in talks last year with a publisher for a book that would be favorable to Trump, but the deal was never made. Cohen frequently defended the president in public before his legal troubles began. The tweets were Trump’s first public comments on the Cohen testimony since returning from his North Korea summit in Vietnam. In his testimony before members of the House on Wednesday, Cohen made a number of serious accusations, accusing the president of lying to the American people about a Moscow real estate deal and making racist statements, among other things. © 2019 Boston Globe Media Partners, LLC Link to the full article to read more
