Cohen Says Trump Directed Him to Rig Online Polls

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former lawyer and fixer, confirmed on Thursday that he paid a small tech firm to rig online polls before the 2016 presidential campaign got underway "at the direction of and the sole benefit of" Trump.

"I truly regret my blind loyalty to a man who doesn’t deserve it," Cohen added in a tweet.
