The president's former lawyer spoke out in an exclusive interview with NBC News' Lester Holt.
President Donald Trump's ex-fixer, Michael Cohen, told NBC News in an exclusive interview that he believes his former boss is a racist"cult leader" who would be wise to resign before he's faced with potential criminal charges.
Cohen said Trump's backers have to defend his"indefensible" actions, mentioning The Atlantic's report last week in which several sources with firsthand knowledge of Trump's remarks said he referred to American service members killed in combat as"losers" and"suckers." Trump has repeatedly denied the accuracy of the story, as have administration officials and allies.
"I, of course, said to him, 'Well that's not really true,'" Cohen continued."He goes, 'No, only the Blacks could live this way.'" Cohen also spoke about Trump's"hatred" for former President Barack Obama. Cohen said the disdain"basically starts and with the fact that he's Black and that he was the first Black president in this country."
