Donald
Trump has denied directing his former lawyer Michael Cohen to break the
law.Cohen was on Wednesday sentenced to three years in jail after
admitting crimes including tax evasion and arranging illicit payments to
silence women who threatened Mr Trump's presidential campaign in
2016.After his sentencing, Trump tweeted: "I never directed Michael
Cohen to break the law. He was a lawyer and he is supposed to know the
law."It is called 'advice of counsel,' and a lawyer has great liability
if a mistake is made. That is why they get paid." 
He
added in a follow-up tweet: "Cohen was guilty on many charges unrelated
to me, but he plead to two campaign charges which were not criminal and
of which he probably was not."See the rest of Trump's tweets in
reaction to Cohen's sentencing below.
