Newsdeck: Cohen Is Said Ready to Accuse Trump of Deceit, Racist Comments By Bloomberg
Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer, is prepared to depict his former boss as a liar and possible criminal who manipulated his financial statements and frequently made racist remarks, a person familiar with his planned testimony to Congress said.
Cohen testified behind closed doors before the Senate Intelligence Committee for hours on Tuesday and will do the same on Thursday before the House Intelligence panel. Questions will focus in part on his role in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. But Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, the Oversight panel’s top Republican, says there’s nothing to be gained.
Cohen won’t be allowed to discuss matters still under investigation by Mueller, who’s almost finished with his probe into whether Trump or anyone close to him was involved in Russian interference in the 2016 election. Cohen also cannot talk about “any financial or other compromise or leverage foreign actors may possess” over Trump, his family, his business interests, or his associates, according to the memo.
