U.S. President Donald Trump discredited his former lawyer Michael Cohen during a press conference to wrap up his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi, Vietnam.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said that accusations by his former lawyer Michael Cohen were"inaccurate," called the congressional hearing"fake" and insisted that there wasn't any collusion between his campaign and Russia during the last presidential election.
"It's inaccurate," Trump said."He lied a lot but it's very interesting because he didn't lie about one thing: He said no collusion with Russia." The White House said that the "program is changing," but later added that the two leaders had"very good and constructive meetings in Hanoi," although"no agreement was reached at this point."
