   In new book, former Trump fixer Michael Cohen calls U.S. president 'organized   
   crime don'   
      
   Michael Cohen's tell-all memoir makes the case that U.S. President Donald   
   Trump is "guilty of the same crimes" that landed his former fixer in federal   
   prison, offering a blow-by-blow account of Trump's alleged role in a hush   
   money scandal that once    
   overshadowed his presidency.   
      
   Of all the crises Cohen confronted working for Trump, none proved as vexing as   
   the porn actress Stormy Daniels and her claims of an extramarital affair with   
   Trump, Cohen writes in Disloyal: The True Story of the Former Personal   
   Attorney to President    
   Donald J. Trump.   
      
   Trump, despite his later protestations, green-lighted the $130,000 US payment   
   to silence Daniels ahead of the 2016 election, reasoning he would "have to   
   pay" his wife a far greater sum if the affair ever became known, Cohen writes,   
   adding the president    
   later reimbursed him with "fake legal fees."   
      
   "It never pays to settle these things, but many, many friends have advised me   
   to pay," Trump said, according to Cohen. "If it comes out, I'm not sure how it   
   would play with my supporters. But I bet they'd think it's cool that I slept   
   with a porn star."   
      
   "He readily admits to lying routinely but expects people to believe him now so   
   that he can make money from book sales," White House spokesman Brian   
   Morgenstern said in a statement. "It's unfortunate that the media is   
   exploiting this sad and desperate man    
   to attack President Trump."   
      
   The Associated Press obtained an early copy of the book, which is scheduled to   
   be released Tuesday.
