Trump's former personal lawyer Cohen warns Republican lawmakers not to protect Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen warned Republican lawmakers attacking his integrity at a congressional hearing not to make the same mistake he did in protecting Trump.

"I did the same thing as you're doing now, for 10 years. I protected Mr Trump for 10 years," Cohen told a House of Representatives committee hearing. "The more people that follow Mr Trump as I did blindly are going to suffer the same consequences that I am suffering."
