Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) suggested Sunday that the testimony of President Donald Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen was driven by his personal vendetta against his old boss. “I think any fair-minded person would have to question Mr. Cohen’s checkered past,” the Judiciary Committee senator told CNN’s Jake Tapper during a “State of the Union” appearance. “He’s an angry man, he’s bitter. That much is clear.”Last week, Cohen testified before the House oversight committee, declaring that the president “is a racist, he is a con man and he is a cheat.” The former attorney expressed regret for helping to conceal his boss’ “illicit acts” including advance knowledge of WikiLeaks’ Democratic National Committee email dump, payouts to women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump, and negotiations with Russia for a Trump Tower in Moscow.
