The president proceeded to accuse his former devotee of lying — a charge that the witness also leveled against the president. Cohen, who has admitted to lying previously to Congress, faces a three-year prison sentence scheduled to begin in May. He praised him for declining to claim that he had hard evidence of collusion between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russian officials. Cohen did say, however, that he had “suspicions.”“He lied a lot, but it was very interesting, because he didn’t lie about one thing," Trump said. “Questions have been raised about whether I know of direct evidence that Mr. Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia,” Cohen said.
