Ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen tells US Congress Trump is a ‘racist,’ claims Trump said black people were ‘too stupid’ to vote for him
Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney of US President Donald Trump, stands as he waits to be sworn in to testify at a House Committee on Oversight and Reform hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, US, February 27, 2019.
Cohen — who is about to go to jail for three years after admitting financial crimes and lying to Congress — said Trump directed him in an illegal scheme to pay hush money to a porn star, and knew in advance in 2016 that WikiLeaks would publish dirt on Hillary Clinton, despite Trump’s denials of both.
But Cohen, 52, also said he had no direct evidence that Trump or his 2016 campaign colluded with Russians — the central focus of Justice Department and congressional investigations. “If it is as explosive as it appears to be, I think that it is the beginning of an impeachment process,” Democratic Representative Jackie Speier, another member of the panel, told NPR radio early Wednesday.
On Thursday he will testify in a closed session at the House Intelligence Committee, also investigating Russian election interference, as well as Trump’s business relations with Russians.Late Tuesday Representative Matt Gaetz, a close Trump ally, tweeted a veiled threat addressed to Cohen.
