Michael Cohen, whose longtime role in the Trump Organization is alternately described as lawyer and fixer but whose main function since leaving the president’s orbit is arguably an antithesis of both, has responded to a Thursday scoop in which the Wall Street Journal reported Cohen engaged a technology firm to fix online polling in Trump’s favor with a sort of confession to Twitter.

His tweet, indeed, went further, not only admitting to the act, but pointing unequivocally at his then-boss as having directed it:

As for the @WSJ article on poll rigging, what I did was at the direction of and for the sole benefit of @realDonaldTrump @POTUS. I truly regret my blind loyalty to a man who doesn’t deserve it.
