Michael Cohen claims Trump directed him to threaten people or entities around 500 different times

President Trump has long fought the reputation of being a "bully," and Michael Cohen did little to assuage those rumors on Wednesday when speaking before the House Oversight Committee. During a line of questioning by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), Cohen claimed that Trump directed him to threaten people or entities around "500 times" over the course of the 10 years he worked for the president.

Cohen's admission harkened back to his opening statement, in which he said he'd been directed by Trump to "[threaten] his high school, colleges, and the College Board not to release his grades or SAT scores."

Among one of the most severe rumors against Trump, adult film star Stormy Daniels has alleged that she was threatened with "physical harm" for claiming she had an affair with Trump in 2006.
