President Trump on Friday once again lashed out at his former attorney, Michael Cohen, demanding Congress obtain a copy of a book proposal he reportedly wrote in 2018.
Trump on Twitter described the manuscript for the proposed book as being a "love letter to Trump," alleging it proves Cohen perjured himself this week:
The Daily Mail had reported on Thursday that Cohen was "shopping around" a book last year that would positively portray Trump. The report said Cohen wrote his proposal in January 2018, after one of the events Cohen testified caused him to turn on Trump, though he could simply have been lying in the proposal. Cohen confirmed to The Daily Beast in February 2018 he was shopping a book.

Neither of those reports referred to the book as a "love letter to Trump," however. Per Bloomberg's Jennifer Epstein, that quote seems to come from an MSNBC guest who was only offering speculation about what final book would be.
