Trump Schools Michael Cohen: Payments Were A 'Private Transaction' Not A Campaign Contribution

  After President Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen claimed payments he made to numerous woman were illegal, Trump fired back. Trump slammed Cohen, saying it was a "simple private transaction." 

  "'Democrats can’t find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey’s testimony. No Smocking Gun...No Collusion.' @FoxNews  That’s because there was NO COLLUSION," Trump wrote.

  "So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution, which it was not (but even if it was, it is only a CIVIL CASE, like Obama’s - but it was done correctly by a lawyer and there would not even be a fine. Lawyer’s liability if he made a mistake, not me). Cohen just trying to get his sentence reduced. WITCH HUNT!"

   "'Michael Cohen asks judge for no Prison Time.' You mean he can do all of the TERRIBLE, unrelated to Trump, things having to do with fraud, big loans, Taxis, etc., and not serve a long prison term," Trump wrote last week.

  "He makes up stories to get a GREAT & ALREADY reduced deal for himself and get his wife and father-in-law (who has the money?) off Scott Free. He lied for this outcome and should, in my opinion, serve a full and complete sentence, " Trump added.
