NEW: President Trump knew in advance that WikiLeaks was going to release hacked Democratic emails during the 2016 election, Michael Cohen will say in congressional testimony Wednesday according to a draft opening statement leaked to several media outlets.

Cohen is also expected to testify that Trump not only lied about his business dealings in Russia during the election — a subject of interest for investigators — but urged Cohen to do so without making a direct ask.

But he will stop short of saying that he has proof Trump conspired with Russia in order to win the 2016 election. “I think this is a golden opportunity for the American public. The American public would like to see Michael Cohen. He is the only person that I know of that has accused this president of a crime,” Cummings told reporters on Capitol Hill Monday night.

And despite the limits set by Cummings for the hearing in order to avoid interfering in ongoing criminal probes, at least a few Democratic members are planning to disobey those conditions, according to two aides preparing for the hearing.
