Donald Trump attacked by ex-lawyer in explosive testimony

Donald Trump's ex-lawyer has attacked the US president in an explosive address to Congress, saying the leader acted like a 'mobster' in the run-up to his testimony. Michael Cohen, who previously had the nickname 'pitbull' because he was known as Mr Trump's fixer and attack dog, laid into his former boss under oath, calling him a 'racist, a conman and a cheat'. Speaking to the House of Representatives' oversight committee, Mr Cohen said he had lied to Congress in 2017 about a possible Trump apartment block deal in Moscow because 'he [Trump] wanted me to lie'. Cohen, 52, said Mr Trump did not explicitly direct him to lie but looked him 'in the eye' and relayed the false version of events.
