In an early-morning rant after his overnight return from Hanoi, President Donald Trump demanded that lawmakers force his former lawyer to turn over the manuscript for an upcoming book he reportedly plans to publish. “Congress must demand the transcript of Michael Cohen’s new book, given to publishers a short time ago. Your heads will spin when you see the lies, misrepresentations and contradictions against his Thursday testimony. Like a different person! He is totally discredited!” the president tweeted. He went on to accuse his former fixer of perjury during his testimony to the House Oversight Committee, posting: “Michael Cohen’s book manuscript shows that he committed perjury on a scale not seen before. He must have forgotten about his book when he testified. What does Hillary Clinton’s lawyer, Lanny Davis, say about this one. Is he being paid by Crooked Hillary. Using her lawyer?”
