Michael Cohen will give Congress evidence of Trump criminal conduct, source says A knowledgeable source told NBC News Trump's ex-attorney will detail what he will describe as the president's lies, racism and cheating as a private businessman. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/do...vidence-trump-criminal-conduct-source-n976046 During his much-anticipated public testimony before Congress, President Donald Trump's former longtime attorney Michael Cohen will provide evidence of his old boss' criminal conduct since becoming president, a knowledgeable source about what to expect told NBC News. And, as this source laid out, there is much more congressional investigators and viewers can expect Cohen to provide. Trump's ex-attorney will detail what he will describe as the president's lies, racism and cheating as a private businessman while Cohen spent a decade working for him, the source said. Cohen will also reveal information about Trump's financial statements and may actually provide the statements, the source said. This information would require the president's long-held secret tax returns in order to verify, providing an avenue for House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to request those returns. As the source said, Trump deflated the value of his properties in some cases so to reduce his property tax. The source said Cohen will address his motives for lying on behalf of Trump and why he lied to Congress about the Trump Tower Moscow negotiations — a charge he pleaded guilty to late last year. Cohen will additionally discuss if anyone told him to lie. After Cohen pleaded guilty, Trump defended his efforts to build a Trump-branded tower in Russia while running for president of the United States as "very legal" and "very cool." The infamous hush-money payments will be at the forefront of Cohen's public testimony too, this source said. Cohen is set to provide intimate details of any involvement Trump had in the scheme to keep porn star Stormy Daniels quiet about the affair she alleges to have had with Trump in 2006 by paying her $130,000 just before the 2016 election. Cohen will discuss the reimbursement he received for the payment as well. In addition to his public session on Wednesday, Cohen will testify behind closed doors to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday and the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday. The House Oversight Committee earlier provided the framework for what they want Cohen to address during his open testimony. After the testimony was scheduled last week, Cohen tweeted: "Looking forward to the #American people hearing my story in my voice!" In December, Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison for what a Manhattan federal court judge called a "veritable smorgasbord" of criminal conduct, including facilitating secret payments to women who claimed they had affairs with Trump, lying to Congress about the president's business dealings with Russia and failing to report millions of dollars in income. Trump and his legal team have repeatedly called Cohen a liar. They've said he is not a credible witness and is just saying whatever he feels necessary to reduce his prison time. Trump has also publicly targeted other members of Cohen's family, suggesting investigators should probe them. In response to Cohen's allegation that Trump tried to intimidate him, the president told reporters last month that Cohen has "only been threatened by the truth."
I wonder how much time this is shaving off his sentence? Better be good, he's already a convicted liar, so his word won't mean much to repugs
Frankly I hope this takes Trump down if he really did commit crimes. Trump got rolled by the establishment. Its time to bring someone else up to bat like Rand Paul.
I bet if you brought any of the Leftard losers on this site to testify against Trump they would also have lots of interesting stories to tell. Of course none of them would be true. Why would anyone believe a thing that Cohen the Rat has to say?
Why would anyone believe Trump's denials? In a he said, he said scenario, Trump is not looking too good
Proof matters. Let’s see the proof. In a President Trump said, convicted Liar Cohen said...who do you think wins?
