WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer is planning to tell a House committee that Trump knew ahead of time that WikiLeaks had emails damaging to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
In prepared testimony obtained by The Associated Press, Michael Cohen says that Trump implicitly told him to lie about a Moscow real estate project.
And the former Trump fixer brands his old boss a "racist," a "conman" and a "cheat."
On the matter of racism, Cohen says the president made racist comments "disparaging African-Americans, saying at one point that black people would never vote for him because they were too stupid."
Ahead of his appearance, Cohen said Tuesday that the American people can decide "exactly who is telling the truth" when he testifies Wednesday before the House Oversight and Reform committee.
