Donald Trump's former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen is set to resume testimony after he first testified before a Manhattan grand jury on Monday investigating hush money payments made on the former president's behalf.
NEW YORK --
"This is not revenge," he said. "This is all about accountability. He needs to be held accountable for his dirty deeds." One possible charge would be falsifying business records, a misdemeanor unless prosecutors could prove it was done to conceal another crime. No former U.S. president has ever been charged with a crime.
Speaking briefly to reporters in Moline, Illinois, Trump called the investigation "a big witch hunt." Asked if he planned on testifying, he said: "I don't know. Nobody's even asked me." Cohen has been meeting regularly with Manhattan prosecutors in recent weeks, including a daylong session Friday to prepare for his grand jury appearance.
