Fordham University Confirms Cohen Threatened To Sue If They Ever Released Trump’s Grades Or SAT Scores

Michael Cohen’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday included an allegation that, during his presidential campaign, Donald Trump directed his former lawyer to write letters to Trump’s high school, colleges, and the College Board demanding that they not release his grades or SAT scores to anyone requesting them.

This is of course quite ironic, since Trump has constantly said he was a top student, has a very “big brain” and asserts he’s the smartest man to ever be president.

Below is a letter to Fordham University, in which Cohen threatens legal action if the school did not adhere to Trump’s request to keep his transcripts under wraps — though Cohen was sure to let them know that the president greatly enjoyed his two years on campus.

The revelation is particularly enlightening considering how badly Trump wanted someone to leak former President Barack Obama’s college records — albeit not to see his grades, but rather to prove the conspiracy he helped spread that Obama was born abroad. After offering $5 million for their release, Trump eventually admitted that he believes Obama was born in the United States.
