In his upcoming memoir, Cohen calls Trump "a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man."
In an upcoming book, Michael Cohen, President Donald Trumps former attorney, alleges that Trump worked with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election.
Among many other accusations, Cohen alleges that Trump worked to get close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and his coterie of corrupt billionaire oligarchs, according to an excerpt released Thursday from the book, entitled Disloyal, A Memoir."
Cohen claims that Trump lied when he told the American public he had no dealings in Russia, because Cohen personally oversaw Trumps efforts to secure a major real estate deal in Moscow during the campaign.
Trump had colluded with the Russians, but not in the sophisticated ways imagined by his detractors. I also knew that the Mueller investigation was not a witch-hunt, Cohen wrote, although he did not provide specifics about the alleged collusion in the excerpt. Trump had cheated in the election, with Russian connivance, as you will discover in these pages, because doing anything and I mean anything to win has always been his business model and way of life.

On my cell phone, by email, snail mail, in tweets, on Facebook, enraged Trump supporters vowed to kill me, and I took those threats very seriously, Cohen wrote. The President called me a rat and tweeted angry accusations at me, as well as my family. All rats deserve to die, I was told.

(63,221 posts)I actually think this book would be an interesting read. I am sure he has a perspective that nobody else has and a unique insight into the sick mind of Donald Trump. I just finished Mary Trump's book and thought it was very well written and informative, but I don't think she knew quite what an evil man her uncle could really be. Cohen knows the worst of the worst.
