Trump Asks If 'Sad' Thing Cohen Did Is a First

A recording of then-candidate Donald Trump and longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen discussing a hush money payment involving a former Playboy model over an alleged affair was made public by CNN Tuesday night—and the president had something to say about it on Wednesday. "What kind of a lawyer would tape a client? So sad! Is this a first, never heard of it before?" Trump tweeted. He went on to suggest a favorable portion of the recording was withheld.

"Why was the tape so abruptly terminated (cut) while I was presumably saying positive things? I hear there are other clients and many reporters that are taped - can this be so? Too bad!" It wasn't the only topic the president addressed in the morning hours on Twitter. He also offered a congrats to Brian Kemp, went after "vicious" China's moves against American farmers, and says that tariff negotiations "are going really well, be cool." More on the recording here.
