The anecdote apparently refers to an obscure parody video shot for the 2012 Republican convention. Cohen is a former lawyer of President Donald Trump, who has authored a tell-all book promising readers insight into how bad and unfit for office his former boss is. The White House dismissed it as “fan fiction” by a convicted liar trying to cash in on past ties with the president. But with the genre of Trump-bashing prose as popular as ever, ‘Disloyal: A Memoir,’ is pretty […]
