MIchael Cohen says Trump is a racist, a cheat and a conman

"He is a racist. He is a con man. And he is a cheat," he said.

Granted, he claimed defending Trump had been part of his job as the president's attorney:

"I am ashamed of my weakness and misplaced loyalty -- of the things I did for Mr. Trump in an effort to protect and promote him. I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump’s illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience. I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is. ... I wound up touting the Trump narrative for over a decade. That was my job. Always stay on message. Always defend. It monopolized my life."
