Cohen: Trump ordered him to make 500 threats over 10 years.

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump ordered his personal attorney to make threats for him about 500 times over the last 10 years, former lawyer Michael Cohen told lawmakers on Wednesday.

Cohen lamented his"misplaced loyalty" to Trump and said he was ashamed of"concealing Mr. Trump's illicit acts." Cohen provided the committee with copies of letters he wrote at Mr. Trump’s behest threatening his high school and colleges not to release his grades or test scores. The panel's top Republican, U.S. Representative Jim Jordan, read from a profanity-laced threat of legal action made by Cohen to a Daily Beast reporter in 2015. Cohen acknowledged he made the comments to protect Trump from a negative story.
