Michael Cohen offered a taste of what to expect in his anti-Trump tell-all book « Disloyal, A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump. » The book, which is set to be released in September, makes several provocative and salacious claims about his time as Trump’s go-to fixer and lawyer before he pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations over hush payments made to women during the 2016 election who alleged having affairs with the then-GOP candidate. « The President of the United States wanted me dead, » Cohen boldly declared in the forward of his book released on Thursday. « Or, let me say it the way Donald Trump would: He wouldn’t mind if I was dead. That was how Trump talked. Like a mob boss, using language carefully calibrated to convey his desires and demands, while at the same time employing deliberate indirection to insulate himself and avoid actually ordering a hit on his former personal attorney, confidant, consigliere, and, at least in my heart, adopted son. » Cohen wrote that « the death threats had come by the hundreds » from Trump supporters after he agreed to cooperate in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, writing « All rats deserve to die, I was told. I was a lowlife Judas they were going to hunt down. » « For more than a decade, I had been at the center of Trump’s innermost circle. When he came to my son’s bar mitzvah, a generous gesture that I found touching, he told my then thirteen-year-old boy that his Dad was the greatest and that, if he wanted to work at the Trump Organization when he grew up, there would always be a position for him.
