MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP PEOPLE/VLADIMIR PUTIN: “In ‘Disloyal: A Memoir,’ [Donald Trump’s former] lawyer, Michael Cohen, writes that he believes his longtime client won’t leave office willingly if he is defeated in the November election…
Cohen said Trump praised Russian President Vladimir Putin during the 2016 campaign because he assumed he would lose and wanted to make sure he could borrow money from Russian sources for his real estate empire…
Cohen says the Trump campaign didn’t need to conspire with the Russian election interference effort. All the candidate had to do was sit back and reap the benefits.”
