CONGRESS/MEDIA/MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump said Saturday [3-2-19] that a just-released manuscript of a book written by Michael Cohen would show his longtime personal lawyer had lied to Congress without offering evidence for the explosive claim…It’s unclear whether any such manuscript exists, whether Trump has seen it or whether the president is continuing a line of attack started on Friday, when he demanded Congress obtain the alleged manuscript as proof that Cohen was lying in his testimony…Last May, The Daily Beast reported that Cohen had written a book tentatively titled “Trump Revolution: From The Tower to The White House, Understanding Donald J. Trump,” but its release was stalled by legal issues. During congressional testimony this week, Republicans pressed Cohen on whether he had a book deal lined up. Cohen would not rule out that possibility. However, Cohen’s potential publisher has said it “never saw a manuscript” and a lawyer for Cohen said the book never went beyond a preliminary proposal.”
