Michael Cohen’s written statement: Trump a ‘racist,’ a ‘conman’ and a ‘cheat’

President’s former personal lawyer promises to provide ‘irrefutable’ proof of claims

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, will make extraordinary claims about a man whom he calls a “racist,” a “conman” and a “cheat,” according a copy of Cohen’s statement obtained by Roll Call.

The statement also indicates that Cohen plans to bring documents to his hearing before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday that provide, he will claim, “irrefutable” proof that his testimony is “accurate and truthful.”

If the documents materialize, they potentially could have much more impact than critical comments about Trump by Cohen, a now-disbarred lawyer who has pleaded guilty to lying to Congress.
