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.

OnPointRadio NPR is so in the bag for Dems it is sad.

With all of the 'bombshells' dropped over the last 2+ years of investigation... Why is there still no evidence of collusion? Maybe because it didn't happen between Trump and Russia. But there is significant evidence it happened between Hillary, Russia and Ukraine.

ImpeachTrumpNow ImpeachTrump ImpeachTheMF

Even if Cohen can prove his story the Republicans won't care. They will just insist it's a plot by the Democrats. The Republicans will scream that Cohen is a liar, ignoring Trump's thousands of lies.

OnPointRadio Don’t worry, will find some hack Republicans to both-sides this and call any bombshell a “nothing burger”. It’s just a game to them

And then Trump will call him a liar and ALL news outlet headlines will focus on Trump’s reaction rather than the factual story.

Cohen doesn’t exactly possess the character himself to serve as a credible character witness. Don’t look now, libs, but this RussiaRussiaRussia stuff has officially reached farce level. AnotherNothing🍔

None of which we don't already know. You guys are embarrassing! And all while Trump is holding important meetings with No Korea. You guys like a liar more than the country

I think this congress is misguided and it needs to clean house of congressmen / women, who cannot do their jobs properly. Nobody that is newly naturalized should be allowed to hold public office till the second generation to learn about our country + understand how it works.

He will say anything at this point. Lying witnesses testimony are inadmissible as evidence, but the liberals want to trump Trump even if its questionable. Liberals break rules of law to twist democracy into a dictatorship. Nancy Pelosi has stated SHE is running our Government.

Same guy that got indicted for lying to Congress...

I think we've all been pretty well briefed up already on the character front.

Bombshell! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I bet we hear everything That's already been made public. Remember this... Cohen already gave this to Mueller and he did nothing

The most terrifying part about all of this is how desperate the democrats are. They had nothing on Trump, so they went after his lawyers. The democrats have been nothing but unconstitutional.

I particular like that Cohen is bringing the threatening letters Trump had him send to block the release of his grades and SAT scores. Genius my ass.

None of it will be a bombshell to anyone who's been paying attention these last few years.

'pre-buttal'. Why I love NPR.

Did you know Cohen is a convicted liar?

Nothing burger fools! There’s a summit going on cover it! Haters

And I suppose you liberal hacks will believe every one of those lies. You are federally funded propaganda and need to be shut down.

Oh yeah. Let's put the guy up that was convicted of LYING to Congress to testify some more. This time he'll be telling the truth, right?

He literally looks like “I don’t care anymore” balls to the wall, let’s go.

He’s a lying sac!

On the day Dems know Pres Trump would fly out of the country for a sensitive meeting they attack him. Cummings leading the charge W/ a lying attorney who’s disbarred and had unrelated crimes to the Pres and is looking for a way out w/ more lies. And NPR will be on it all day.👏

'Bombshell' lol.

Of course they will as they know they are in political peril.

I read Cohen's full opening statement. Sadly, I have become so numb to trump, the accusations did not feel like bombshells. We have a criminal sociopath in the White House, unquestionably. What we do about it is the question on my mind.

Kim's gonna Keep his Nukes,Cohen about to Launch his!!!!

Yawn

accusations..... gee wonder why maybe cuz hes going to jail lol dont drop the soap boy.
