Michael Cohen told ABC News that Donald Trump directed him to arrange hush-money payments with two women because then-candidate Trump “was very concerned about how this would affect the election” if their allegations of affairs became public.

Said Cohen: “I knew what I was doing was wrong. I stood up before the world and I accepted the responsibility for my actions.”

When asked if the president also knew it was wrong to make the payments, Cohen replied: “Of course,” adding that the purpose was to “help him and his campaign.”

From The Hill: Cohen: Special counsel has 'substantial amount of information that corroborates' my testimony

President Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen hit back at allies of the president on Friday for seeking to discredit his testimony to the special counsel telling ABC's "Good Morning America" that the special counsel office had informed him that it had evidence corroborating some of his claims.

Cohen, who was sentenced this week to three years in prison for his role in a hush-money scheme targeting women accusing the president of affairs during the 2016 election, told George Stephanopoulos that Robert Mueller's team had told him his testimony had been found to be "credible."

"The special counsel stated emphatically that the information that I gave to them was credible," Cohen said Friday.

"There's a substantial amount of information that they possess that corroborates the fact that I am telling the truth," he continued.
