Michael Cohen accuses Republican lawmakers of 'blindly' following Donald Trump: “I’m responsible for your silliness because I did the same thing that you’re doing now for 10 years. I protected Mr. Trump for 10 years.”
Michael Cohen, during his explosive testimony before the House oversight committee on Wednesday, accused Republican lawmakers of trying to protect President Donald Trump.Rep. Jim Cooper asked Trump’s former personal attorney when he decided during his life to start telling the truth. Cohen was convicted in November of lying to Congress about his involvement in a Trump Tower Moscow deal during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Mark Meadows used Department of Housing and Urban Development official Lynne Patton, who is black, as a prop in an attempt to debunk Cohen’s allegation that Trump is racist.Cohen bashed the relentless Republican attacks against him during the hearing as “really unbecoming of Congress.”“It’s that sort of behavior that I’m responsible for,” he said. “I’m responsible for your silliness because I did the same thing that you’re doing now for 10 years. I protected Mr. Trump for 10 years.
