Clash between Cohen and Trump is nearing height

A former confidant of Donald Trump has called the president 'a racist, a scammer and a deceiver.

The 52-year-old lawyer worked for years as a fixer for Trump and claimed that he would receive a bullet for his boss. The relationship has since been soured. Cohen has been sentenced to three years' imprisonment for financial crimes and lying to Congress and has turned against his former client. 'Today I am here to tell the truth about Mr. Trump,' he said Wednesday.
