Cohen says his previous prepared testimony was altered by Trump’s lawyers
Cohen’s comments implicate the president’s lawyers in altering his testimony to make it less accurate.Cohen said that Trump never overtly asked him to lie to Congress. His communications were more subtle than that, Cohen said, and the longtime Trump lawyer knew exactly what his boss wanted him to say.
Cohen said those same statements were provided to Deutsche Bank when Trump was interested in buying the Buffalo Bills football team. “Ask Ms. Patton how many people who are black are executives at the Trump Organization, and the answer is zero,” he said. “If we have the opportunity to subpoena witnesses, we should subpoena witnesses who are not recently disbarred, not a convicted felon and witnesses who have not committed bank fraud and tax fraud,” he said.Cohen was pushed by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz but declined to say whether Trump colluded with Russia to win the presidency.
Cohen testified that Weisselberg was in a meeting in 2016 where they hashed out how to pay $130,000 in hush money to an adult film actress who was alleging she had an affair with Trump. Those payments to Cohen, including a $35,000 check from Trump’s personal account when he was president, took a year.
