President Trump did not allow the distance between Vietnam and America to prevent him from calling his former lawyer a liar on Wednesday.
'Michael Cohen was one of many lawyers who represented me (unfortunately),' Trump tweeted just moments before Cohen testified before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.
'He had other clients also. He was just disbarred by the State Supreme Court for lying & fraud.
'He did bad things unrelated to Trump. He is lying in order to reduce his prison time.
'Using Crooked’s lawyer!'
Donald Trump tweeted this on Tuesday on the eve of Michael Cohen's testimony. The president is in Vietnam meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un
Trump posted the tweet while he was 8,000 miles away in Hanoi, Vietnam - the site of a historic summit meeting with North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un (seen left with the U.S. president on Wednesday)
In his testimony on Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee, Cohen (above) accused Trump of committing numerous financial crimes both before and after he assumed the presidency. Cohen also blasted Trump as a 'racist', a 'conman,' and a 'cheat'
'Crooked' is a reference to Hillary Clinton, Trump's 2016 election rival. Lanny Davis, a longtime advisor to the Clintons, is also advising Cohen.

In his testimony on Wednesday, Cohen accused Trump of committing numerous financial crimes both before and after he assumed the presidency.
Cohen also blasted Trump as a 'racist', a 'conman,' and a 'cheat.'
The president's reaction came on the same day his sons were photographed appearing dismayed that the Trump-Kim meeting, their second in a year, is getting less attention than the Cohen testimony.
Donald Trump Jr. was downcast on Wednesday as he ventured to Trump Tower in Manhattan in a fleece before launching an hours-long trolling, Twitter commentary of Michael Cohen's congressional testimony.
Clutching an energy drink and sporting a full beard, Donald Jr. was stony-faced as he entered Trump Tower with a security team. He was dressed in a khaki fleece and beige slacks with a blue checked button-down shirt hidden beneath his outwear.
At the same time in Washington DC, Michael Cohen, his father's turn-coat former lawyer, was testifying that he had the 'worst judgement in the world', something he claimed he'd heard the president say about his own son.

All out assault: Eric Trump also tweeted against Cohen on Wednesday morning
Cohen told Congress that he was there when Donald Jr. arranged a meeting at Trump Tower with Russian operatives and said he remarked upon it as strange because it was one of the few times he had see him go behind his father's desk.
'Sometime in the summer of 2017, I read all over the media that there had been a meeting in Trump Tower in June 2016 involving Don Jr. and others from the campaign with Russians, including a representative of the Russian government, and a email setting up the meeting with the subject line "Dirt on Hillary Clinton."
'Something clicked in my mind.
'I remember being in the room with Mr. Trump, probably in early June 2016, when something peculiar happened.
'Don Jr. came into the room and walked behind his father's desk - which in itself was unusual.
'People didn't just walk behind Mr. Trump's desk to talk to him.
'I recall Don Jr. leaning over to his father and speaking in a low voice, which I could clearly hear, and saying: "The meeting is all set." I remember Mr. Trump saying, "OK, good... let me know.
'What struck me as I looked back and thought about that exchange between Don Jr. and his father was, first, that Mr. Trump had frequently told me and others that his son Don Jr. had the worst judgement of anyone in the world.
'And also, that Don Jr. would never set up any meeting of any significance alone - and certainly not without checking with his father.'
Donald Jr. has repeatedly slammed Cohen as a 'rat'.
Donald Jr. continued to Trump the former lawyer throughout the morning and afternoon
On Wednesday morning, before the testimony began, he and his brother Eric called the hearing and the fact it was winning so much attention from the media a 'national disgrace'.
Donald Jr. carried on his social media assault for hours, tweeting and retweeting condemning remarks about Cohen's character and ridiculing his mistakes.
Eric Trump, the less pugnacious of the two, was less consistent but also tweeted his disdain several times.
'Michael was lobbying EVERYONE to be “Chief of Staff.” It was the biggest joke in the campaign and around the office. Did he just perjure himself again?' was among his put-downs.

'The accomplishments of are nothing short of incredible especially in the face of such hate & adversity.'
Cohen is to report to prison in May to begin a three year sentence for tax fraud and lying to the authorities.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
