President Donald Trump on Thursday pointed out on Twitter that Michael Cohen “sadly” won’t be testifying before Congress next month, failing to mention the reason Cohen decided not to testify is because he feels threatened by Trump’s public attacks against his family.

In the same breath, Trump also called it “interesting” that his former lawyer is being represented by Lanny Davis, who formerly served as special counsel to President Bill Clinton.

Trump falsely claimed that Davis was previously an attorney for Hillary Clinton.
