Michael Cohen, President Trump's formal personal lawyer and 'fixer,' is set to go public before a Democrat-led House panel Wednesday and talk about the decade in which he would 'take a bullet' for his boss. Here's what to watch for.
WASHINGTON — There’ll be much talk of a “rat,” hush money for onetime paramours and the 2016 presidential campaign.That’s the key question Michael Cohen will be expected to answer with documents on Wednesday during a Capitol Hill drama that sounds more like a mobster movie every day. Trump’s formal personal lawyer and “fixer” is set to go public before a Democrat-led House panel and talk about the decade in which he would “take a bullet” for his boss.
Other topics: Cohen claims Trump inflated assets to make a list of the richest Americans and deflated assets to pay lower taxes on his golf courses. Trump managed a hush money payment to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal just before the 2016 election, Cohen claims. A key point is whether Cohen has evidence that Trump knew the payments might have violated campaign finance laws.
After Cohen struck his plea deals, Trump on Dec. 16 called Cohen a “rat,” underworld lingo for someone who secretly helps law enforcement investigations. In the same tweet, the president falsely repeated that the FBI broke into Cohen’s office.On Tuesday as Cohen testified in the Senate, Trump spokeswoman Sarah Sanders beamed in a distinctly Trump-like statement from Vietnam. She called the week’s events “laughable that anyone would take a convicted liar like Cohen at his word.
In response, Gaetz apologized and said he was deleting the tweet and should have chosen better words to show his intent.What’s OK to ask about, according to Cummings’ memo: Trump’s finances and his compliance with campaign finance laws. That’s a reference to an unanswered question: Whether anyone else involved in arranging the payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal could face charges, including Trump Organization executives who prosecutors say reimbursed Cohen for the payoffs.
