In prepared remarks obtained by NPR, Michael Cohen is expected to make a series of bombshell accusations about President Trump's character, his business dealings, his 2016 presidential campaign, and a venture involving a Trump Tower project in Russia.
Michael Cohen, former attorney and fixer for President Trump, arrives at the Hart Senate Office Building on Tuesday before testifying to the Senate intelligence committee. Cohen testifies publicly before the House oversight committee Wednesday.Michael Cohen, former attorney and fixer for President Trump, arrives at the Hart Senate Office Building on Tuesday before testifying to the Senate intelligence committee. Cohen testifies publicly before the House oversight committee Wednesday.
Cohen is expected to bring several documents, including copies of checks and financial statements that he says support his testimony, as he attempts to overcome questions about the veracity of his testimony since he pleaded guilty last year for lying to Congress. As a former Trump employee, Cohen said that during the 2016 campaign he helped Trump direct negotiations for a Trump Tower in Moscow, and that Trump was behind the project.
Cohen will say that Trump signed a personal check to reimburse him for hush money while in office — money that Cohen later pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations for.
