Biloxi, Mississippi (CNN) Michael Cohen, a top aide to Donald Trump, promoted a pair of tweets Saturday that suggested Hillary Clinton was behind a new terrorist recruiting video featuring Trump.

Cohen, a Trump Organization executive vice president and special counsel to Trump, retweeted user @freestateyank, who wrote, "Huma (Abedin) put in order 4 video the second Hillary Clinton lied at debate re yet another video @MichaelCohen212." Abedin is a close Clinton confidant who is Muslim.

He also retweeted user @natashalarebel, who wrote, "Mr Cohen, I would not be surprised is Hillary is somehow behind this. Clinton's play dirty tricks when desperate."
