Michael Cohen said there is an easy way to see when Donald Trump lies, and you don’t have to read the former president’s lips.
Just look at his hands.
“When you see the accordion hands start going, what that means is he’s lying,” Cohen, who was Trump’s longtime fixer and personal attorney, told CNN’s Jim Acosta on Tuesday. “It’s a narrative with Donald. Every time the accordion hands start, it means he’s not telling the truth.”
Cohen spoke with Acosta about Trump’s on-again, off-again debate with the vice president Kamala Harriswhich seems to be back although the two camps still argue over whether to mute the microphones when not speaking.
The Harris camp wants the microphones on all the time, and Trump has said that’s fine with him.
But his campaign wants them removed for the Sept. 10 debate.
Cohen said there’s a reason for that.
“They don’t trust that he’s going to shut up and that he’s not going to be normal for the 90 minutes of the debate,” Cohen said.
Cohen said Trump — despite what he says — doesn’t want the microphones on either.
“He knows he can’t control himself,” he said. “He says things under his breath, he will continuously interrupt Kamala every time she says something he doesn’t agree with. He can’t help himself.”
