[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] As revelations about President Donald Trump continue ahead of the U.S. November presidential election, Michael Cohen (53), who served as Trump's personal attorney for 12 years, joined the expos? by publishing a memoir on the 13th (local time).
Michael Cohen, who was President Trump's personal lawyer, announced on the same day that he would release his book next month titled Disloyal: A Memoir by Donald Trump's Former Personal Lawyer, and he revealed the book's preface.
In the preface, he stated, "I will reveal everything from Trump's Las Vegas golden shower (a type of perverted sexual act) to tax evasion and his connections with corrupt former Soviet officials," adding, "With every page you turn, you will meet the real Trump for the first time."
Cohen first claimed that President Trump's 'Russia scandal' is true.
The Russia scandal refers to allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It led to a special counsel investigation that stirred up the U.S., but the investigation ended without direct evidence.
Cohen said, "The reality is much more complicated and dangerous. Trump colluded with Russia to commit election fraud," and added, "Doing whatever it takes to win is Trump's business model and way of life."
On the 13th (local time), Michael Cohen posted on Twitter, "The day has finally come. I have waited a long time to share my truth. To read the preface and pre-order my book, please visit," along with the pre-order link and his thoughts on the publication. Photo by Michael Cohen (Twitter capture).
He also said, "Trump wanted to join President Vladimir Putin and his corrupt billionaire oligarch group," explaining that he personally got involved to connect the two and kept Trump and his children informed with the latest updates, so he knows these facts.
Cohen further admitted that he actively helped Trump. He said, "I exploited his business partners and embezzled money on Trump's behalf," and "I also frequently lied to hide Trump's promiscuous private life from his wife Melania."
In particular, Cohen exposed Trump's sexual private life. He confessed, "From the 'golden shower' at a Las Vegas sex club to tax fraud, dealing with former Soviet officials, and silencing Trump's mistresses, I helped with all of it."
Cohen worked as President Trump's personal lawyer for over ten years but became an adversary after cooperating with the investigation into Trump's 'Russia scandal' in 2016. He also testified about the 'Russia scandal' and Trump's 'sexual misconduct' at the U.S. House hearing in February 2019.
Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison in 2018 for false statements and campaign finance violations related to the Trump inauguration committee's alleged fund misuse, but he was granted parole and placed under house arrest due to his cooperation with the Russia scandal special counsel investigation and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He was once re-incarcerated for refusing the release condition of not writing a book or contacting the media, but was released again after filing a lawsuit claiming it violated freedom of expression, allowing him to publish the book.
The White House called Cohen's book "a ridiculous novel" and said, "Cohen is lying to make money and hopes people will believe him."
