from his upcoming book entitled disloyal says that trump is guilty of the same crimes that landed cohen in prison. this follows of a report in the atlantic magazine that alleges trump made disparaging comments about american war dead. according to that report trump refused to visit a military cemetery in france because it was quote filled with losers trump denies the story no it was a fake story written by a magazine that was probably not going to be around much longer but it was a totally fake story and that was confirmed by many people who were actually that it was a terrible thing that somebody could say that kind of things and especially to me because i don't work for the military then almost anybody else. let's talk a bit more about this and for that i'm joined in the studio by our reporter joel dollar i so joel donald trump clearly denying that he made comments like this but

it has to be said the story has been corroborated by various outlets has and it's and it isn't the 1st time that he's made comments like that no it's not the 1st saw and let's go back and remember that trump has his own war record to talk about or his lack of a war record that is he dodged going to the vietnam war on medical grounds and his former lawyer michael cohen claims that trump once said if you think i'm stupid i will not going to vietnam then he made disparaging comments about the late republican senator john mccain also one of his critics a decorated war hero who trump said was not a hero because he was captured by the enemy also a cold mccain a loser now that would lose or is the same whether he's alleged to have used referring to fold in soldiers in these latest published allegations and this all took place during a 2018 visit to france when trump was supposed to attend a ceremony at a military ceremony cemetery alongside the for. german presidents but instead trump
