Trump Suggests Cohen Hearing Sabotaged North Korea Summit
The president said last week that talks with Kim Jong Un fell apart because of demands for sanctions relief.

President Trump says the “very important Nuclear Summit with North Korea” in Hanoi last week failed at least partly because his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, testified against him in open court while the meeting was underway. While Trump said last week that he walked out of talks with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un early because he found Pyongyang’s demands for sanctions relief unacceptable. He told a different story on Twitter late Sunday night. “For the Democrats to interview in open hearings a convicted liar & fraudster, at the same time as the very important Nuclear Summit with North Korea, is perhaps a new low in American politics and may have contributed to the ‘walk.’ Never done when a president is overseas. Shame!” he wrote. The comments came shortly after the president complained again of “presidential harassment” staged by “‘crazed’ Democrats.”
