According to the report, in the book "Disloyal: A Memoir" Cohen lists various allegations and stories about Trump that he said he witnessed due to his closeness to the president, whom he calls "cheater, liar, bully and racist", who allegedly uses his lofty position for his personal and economic benefit.
In December 2018, Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison after admitting to paying "silence fees" to women who allegedly had an affair with President Trump and lied to Congress about it.
In addition to the prison sentence, Cohen was required to pay compensation in the amount of more than $ 1 million.
Among the things Cohen said in his testimony to Congress after his conviction, he called the president a "racist and deceiver."
Cohen further noted that Trump, who was previously portrayed as "one of the greatest racists," is even worse in reality.
He said that once, when the president was driving in a neighborhood in Chicago he said "only blacks can live like this" and even claimed that they would not vote for him in the election because "they are too stupid".
Trump responded at the time, while at the summit with North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un, claiming, "Cohen is lying to reduce the time he will have to serve in prison."
