President Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen on Thursday said that he acted at “the direction of and for the sole benefit of” President Trump after a Wall Street Journal report detailed how he hired a small polling firm to rig two online polls in the president’s favor.
Cohen, who was sentenced last month to three years in prison for a series of crimes he committed while working for Trump, tweeted that he “truly regret” his “blind loyalty” to the president, adding that Trump did not deserve his support.
“As for the @WSJ article on poll rigging, what I did was at the direction of and for the sole benefit of @realDonaldTrump @POTUS. I truly regret my blind loyalty to a man who doesn’t deserve it,” Cohen wrote.
