President Donald Trump blasted his former attorney Michael Cohen and called him a “bad lawyer and fraudster."
Trump also claimed Cohen lied during his recent testimony before the House Oversight Committee.
Trump made his comments Friday on Twitter.
He wrote:
"Bad lawyer and fraudster Michael Cohen said under sworn testimony that he never asked for a Pardon. His lawyers totally contradicted him. He lied! Additionally, he directly asked me for a pardon. I said NO. He lied again! He also badly wanted to work at the White House. He lied!?"
Cohen's attorney, Lanny Davis, said Cohen had "directed" another lawyer to explore the possibility of a presidential pardon last year.
During his testimony, Cohen said he had never asked for a pardon from Trump.
