Lawyer Michael Cohen was spying on former President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, according to a book from former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.
Cohen was the administrator of the campaign's server, which made him privy to all emails, according to Manafort's book Political Prisoner: Persecuted, Prosecuted but Not Silenced.
"He had access to everybody’s communications. He had knowledge and he would be sitting in his office, gaining knowledge by virtue of spying on the campaign," Manafort wrote.Cohen denied Manafort's allegations. "Not surprisingly, Manafort is distorting the truth. I requested administrative access to only Corey Lewandowski’s campaign email address after he was terminated," Cohen said."The purpose was to prove to Trump that it was Corey who was leaking negative information on Jared and Ivanka to the press. The information was located and turned over to Donald."
Manafort also claimed that Sen. Ted Cruz received an in-person apology from Trump over his comments about the senator and his wife during his 2016 campaign. Even Manafort found it"unusual" for the usually unapologetic former president.Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation resulted in Manafort being charged and found guilty of eight counts of fraud and false tax returns.
