Michael Cohen: Trump sent letters to his schools threatening them not to release his test scores

Donald Trump threatened his high school and college with legal action in order to prevent them releasing his exam scores, according to explosive testimony Michael Cohen is due to deliver before Congress.
Mr Cohen, the US presidents former lawyer and personal fixer, will tell the House oversight and reform committee on Wednesday how his then client directed him to send letters warning Mr Trumps schools against releasing his grades.
The revelation is part of a larger picture Mr Cohen plans to sketch of Mr Trump as a racist, a conman, and a cheat who, he will claim, knew his campaign was communicating with WikiLeaks in order to damage his 2016 presidential rival Hillary Clinton.
As I mentioned, Im giving the committee today copies of a letter I sent at Mr Trumps direction threatening these schools with civil and criminal actions if Mr Trumps grades or SAT scores were ever disclosed without his permission.
He will continue: The irony wasnt lost on me at the time that Mr Trump in 2011 had strongly criticized President Obama for not releasing his grades.
Mr Trump branded Barack Obama a terrible student in an interview nine years ago with the Associated Press, in which he pressured the former president to release his academic records.

(7,142 posts)public information like this will eat at Trump. I would like to see his diploma. Did he even graduate from Wharton undergraduate school? I know he never went to Wharton Business college.

(17,574 posts)Transcripts, etc. are already protected. They require a signed release from the student.
So the thuglike threats weren't even needed.
