Michael Cohen, the former attorney for President Donald Trump, reacting to a report he paid a company to try to rig online polls, claimed he did so at the direction of Trump.

His comments came Thursday after The Wall Street Journal reported he paid RedFinch Solutions LLC for the company’s unsuccessful attempts to manipulate two polls in Trump’s favor before the presidential election. John Gauger, who owns the company, claimed Cohen paid him just a portion of the $50,000 he was expecting for his efforts.

Cohen wrote on Twitter: “As for the @WSJ article on poll rigging, what I did was at the direction of and for the sole benefit of @realDonaldTrump @POTUS. I truly regret my blind loyalty to a man who doesn’t deserve it.”
