US President Donald Trump has denied to be in the breaches of the Law in his to a three-year prison sentence convicted Ex-lawyer Michael Cohen is involved. He had instructed Cohen “never to break the law,” wrote Trump on Thursday at the short message service Twitter. Cohen had to know, as a lawyer, “the law”. As a lawyer, he was also in a high mass, “if a mistake is made”.

Cohen had been convicted the previous day by a Federal judge in New York, among others, for violations of the laws on election campaign financing. It was about the hush money payments during the election campaign of 2016, two alleged former sex partners Trumps, the porn actress Stormy Daniels and the former Playboy Model Karen McDougal. The investigators and the judges see it as illegal campaign donations.

Everything only for the criminal’s estate?

Cohen said, according to the prosecutors in his testimony, that he had arranged for these payments “in coordination with and on behalf of” Trumps and brought the President directly with the alleged law violation. Trump denied now, however, once again, that there had been a breach of the law. In doing so, he referred to “many” lawyers, who are specialized in campaign Finance law. “This was not campaign Finance,” tweeted the US President. Cohen had made his confessions only to receive a greatly reduced sentence. This criminal’s estate be to him granted.

Cohen was just to embarrass him: “He is known only to the guilty, to the President, just to clarify,” wrote Trump.

Cohen had said in his statement on Wednesday before court that he let his former boss to act breaks, to convince: that He had considered his “duty” to cover up the “dirty deeds” Trumps, said the 52-Year-old. (nlu/afp)
