President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen plans to deliver an explosive testimony before U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday, according to a draft copy of his opening remarks to Congress.

The former so-called"fixer" for Trump — who once said he would take a bullet for the president — is set to say he is ashamed of his"misplaced loyalty" to Trump. "I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump's illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience," Cohen plans to say on Wednesday. "I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is. He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat.

Cohen's public testimony before the House oversight committee on Wednesday is expected to include a series of remarkable allegations about the presidential campaign. In the text of his planned statement, first obtained by the New York Times late Tuesday and also reported by Reuters, Cohen will say Trump was told by Roger Stone that WikiLeaks would publish emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Cohen, who is slated to report to federal prison May 6, will also testify in a closed-door hearing with the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday. The White House has pre-emptively trashed Cohen's testimony, calling him a"disgraced felon." "Michael Cohen was one of many lawyers who represented me . He had other clients also. He was just disbarred by the State Supreme Court for lying & fraud," Trump said in a tweet on Wednesday.

Cohen statement prepared by HRC attorney Lanny Davis... Such a circus!

That’s the pot calling the kettle black - oh my God I used that word - black. The Leftist politically correct will have a melt down. Tear down my statue and pretend history does not exist if it does not conform with their views. Every Communist gov’t does that so not surprised

No credibility. Zero.

Cohen gonna get some man love in 60 days when he surrenders to prison

I want to hear Trump’s SAT scores Cohen was told to block🤣

This guy has some kind of nose on him. brownNose

Media garbage

He’s referring to himself, so I wonder what he will say about POTUS!!!

Projecting. Con men always do. NBC takes its usual morning shot at POTUS. Cohen and NBC are peas in a pod.

He’s Fake

In other words, he’ll provide truthful testimony potus trump

Tell us something new.

Spill your guts Cohen & stitch Trump up bigtime. The man is a crook.

So says the guy convicted of lying to Congress and the FBI ... for the “never Trumpers” better hope the special council using something this idiot provided to level charges against the President or its all going to be a show based on character attacks only ... not a crime.

calling and proving are 2 different things

So what the radical and looney left call him daily. Yawn!

Meanwhile Cohen disbarred as an attorney by the New York State for lying to Congress and for unprofessional conduct - Go figure.

Projecting

Gee, I wonder if Cohen's lawyer (who's also Clinton's lawyer) had anything to do with this opening statement ? Nah, surely not, right ? ROTFLOL at these crooked bastards. Resulting damage ? NONE !!

Just to confirm, a convicted felon and admitted liar is going to call the President of the United States of America........names. Meanwhile, President Trump is in Vietnam meeting with Kim Jong Un of North Korea.

I m No US Prashant Donald Trump I m For Man Mr Rabin Das Visit

He’ll pull a Frank Pantangeli from The Godfather if he’s smart

Who cares? Isn’t he heading to jail for lying? If he continues to lie will he get a reduced sentence? How does that work? He admits to fraud and is now an honest man and only tells the truth.....from now on. Got it!

Wait, what? A convicted lying felon speaks and we should believe him because why? Whatever...

Racism is just one aspect of TrumpFascism. We cannot defeat what we refuse to look at.

We all know he’s lying so...

Ooooh.

He’s about to tell the truth. Trump will be supported by the GOP and that is the real crime. The GOP is an agglomeration of lickspittles, goons, liars, and corrosive sycophants and will be remembered as a loosely strung pack of jackals usurping the ethical foundation of America.

Blah blah blah

In other words anything to convince people to reduce his sentence.
