Donald Trump spoke to reporters following his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen's guilty plea in federal court. Cohen said that he lied to a Senate intelligence panel about Trump Tower in Moscow.
Said Trump: “Cohen is being a weak person and trying to get a reduced sentence so he's lying about a project that everybody knew about…He was convicted with a fairly long-term sentence with things unrelated to the Trump Organization…What he's trying to do — and it's very simple, he's got himself a big prison sentence and he's trying to get a much lesser prison sentence by making up a story”
Trump also told reporters that he worked with Cohen for such a long time “because a long time ago he did me a favor. A long time ago he did me a favor.”
