Michael Cohen says he paid IT company to manipulate polls ‘at direction of Donald Trump’

Donald Trump’s former lawyer and “fixer” has said he paid a small technology firm thousands of dollars in 2015 to rig online polls “at the direction and of the sole benefit” of the president. Michael Cohen, who last year pleaded guilty to federal crimes while implicating Mr Trump, admitted to paying between $12,000 and $13,000 to the owner of RedFinch Solutions LLC. The owner, John Gauger, was paid for “trying unsuccessfully to manipulate two online polls in Mr Trump’s favour”, and creating a Twitter account aimed at making it seem as though women think Cohen is attractive, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
