A new book by Donald Trump’s former lawyer provides a blow-by-blow account of the US president’s alleged role in a hush money scandal involving a porn actress that once overshadowed his rise to office.

In the book Disloyal: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J Trump, Michael Cohen makes the case that President Trump is “guilty of the same crimes” that landed the lawyer in a federal prison.
