President Trump disputed claims by former lawyer Michael Cohen that he engaged in “dirty deeds” that include hush payments to two women to keep them quiet during the 2016 election, USA Today reports.
Said Trump: “I never directed Michael Cohen to break the law. He was a lawyer and he is supposed to know the law.”
He added: “It is called ‘advice of counsel,’ and a lawyer has great liability if a mistake is made. That is why they get paid.”
