President Trump on Sunday continued to knock the “collusion delusion” of the Democrats’ Russian investigations and once again referred to a book manuscript from his former longtime lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen.
“After more than two years of Presidential Harassment, the only things that have been proven is that Democrats and other broke the law. The hostile Cohen testimony, given by a liar to reduce his prison time, proved no Collusion! His just written book manuscript showed what he said was a total lie, but Fake Media won’t show it,” he posted on his Twitter page, referring to Cohen’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee last Wednesday.
“I am an innocent man being persecuted by some very bad, conflicted & corrupt people in a Witch Hunt that is illegal & should never have been allowed to start – And only because I won the Election! Despite this, great success!” he continued in a second tweet.
Cohen made a series of sweeping allegations against Trump during his appearance, including that the president lied and committed crimes while in the White House.
But the once trusted lawyer for the president said he did not have “direct evidence” that Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russians during the 2016 election.
On Saturday in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump singled out the investigations being conducted by Mueller.
“Unfortunately you put the wrong people in a couple of positions and they leave people for a long time that shouldn’t be there and all of a sudden they’re trying to take you out with bulls—,” he told the crowd of conservatives.
Mocking the Democrats and their “collusion delusion,” Trump blasted them for overreaching for launching a series of new investigations into him now that they are in the majority.
“This phoney thing looks like it’s dying so they don’t have anything with Russia there, no collusion,” Trump said of Mueller’s investigation. “So now they go in and morph into ‘Let’s inspect every deal he’s ever done. We’re going to go into his finances. We’re going to check his deals. We’re going to check’ — these people are sick.”
In a tweet on Friday, Cohen accused Cohen of writing a “love letter to Trump” in a book deal he was pursuing with publishers.
He appeared to be referring to a report in the Daily Mail that said Cohen had been shopping a book deal but it collapsed after he was charged in Manhattan federal court.
Cohen is scheduled to report to prison on May 6 to begin serving a three-year sentence after he pleaded guilty last fall to tax evasion, campaign finance violations and lying to Congress.
