President Trump has blasted a new report which claims he has a history of mistreating his beleaguered attorney Michael Cohen.

President Trump has blasted a New York Times report which claims he has a history of mistreating his beleaguered attorney Michael Cohen.
"The New York Times and a third rate reporter named Maggie Haberman, known as a Crooked H flunkie who I don't speak to and have nothing to do with, are going out of their way to destroy Michael Cohen and his relationship with me in the hope that he will 'flip,'" Trump wrote in a series of tweets.
"They use non-existent 'sources' and a drunk/drugged up loser who hates Michael, a fine person with a wonderful family. Michael is a businessman for his own account/lawyer who I have always liked & respected," Trump continued. "Most people will flip if the Government lets them out of trouble, even if it means lying or making up stories. Sorry, I don't see Michael doing that despite the horrible Witch Hunt and the dishonest media!"
He was likely referring to the story, which states, "For years Mr. Trump treated Mr. Cohen poorly, with gratuitous insults, dismissive statements and, at least twice, threats of being fired, according to interviews with a half-dozen people familiar with their relationship." 
The piece goes on to suggest that Cohen's professed loyalty to the president may be tested now that the lawyer is being investigated by federal authorities.
