Michael Cohen, President Trump's formal personal lawyer and 'fixer,' is set to go public before a Democrat-led House panel Wednesday and talk about the decade in which he would 'take a bullet' for his boss. Here's what to watch for.

WASHINGTON — There’ll be much talk of a “rat,” hush money for onetime paramours and the 2016 presidential campaign.That’s the key question Michael Cohen will be expected to answer with documents on Wednesday during a Capitol Hill drama that sounds more like a mobster movie every day. Trump’s formal personal lawyer and “fixer” is set to go public before a Democrat-led House panel and talk about the decade in which he would “take a bullet” for his boss.

Other topics: Cohen claims Trump inflated assets to make a list of the richest Americans and deflated assets to pay lower taxes on his golf courses. Trump managed a hush money payment to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal just before the 2016 election, Cohen claims. A key point is whether Cohen has evidence that Trump knew the payments might have violated campaign finance laws.

After Cohen struck his plea deals, Trump on Dec. 16 called Cohen a “rat,” underworld lingo for someone who secretly helps law enforcement investigations. In the same tweet, the president falsely repeated that the FBI broke into Cohen’s office.On Tuesday as Cohen testified in the Senate, Trump spokeswoman Sarah Sanders beamed in a distinctly Trump-like statement from Vietnam. She called the week’s events “laughable that anyone would take a convicted liar like Cohen at his word.

In response, Gaetz apologized and said he was deleting the tweet and should have chosen better words to show his intent.What’s OK to ask about, according to Cummings’ memo: Trump’s finances and his compliance with campaign finance laws. That’s a reference to an unanswered question: Whether anyone else involved in arranging the payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal could face charges, including Trump Organization executives who prosecutors say reimbursed Cohen for the payoffs.

Slimeball!

JonLemire Cohen said he lied and is not a liar. That confirms he is a liar. Cohen also coordinated testimony with Dems. His attorney must certainly be conflicted by representing Dems and certain interested foreign governments. should report it all as proper context.

Oh look! It’s the lefts messiah of the week. - Disbarred - Convicted felon - Committed tax fraud - Committed bank fraud - Lied under oath to congress - Continues to lie under oath

Oh yeah! Here we have Michael Cohen. A convicted felon, disbarred lawyer and proven liar who couldn't be truthful if he wanted. Hurt Trump? NOT!

Is this the best they’ve got?

rubbish

Everybody get ready for the victim card.

While I don't like Donald Trump, I also don't think this type of scorched earth testimony from a convicted liar should be happening on the same day that the POTUS is meeting with a head of state in a foreign country on important matters of America's national security.

The real story.

Wasting time listening to a person who can not be trusted. What a waste of time

The idea of a fixer who works for the Pres of US should not be normalized:

What joke; this government, what clowns, the most corrupt ever! Payroll grifters the first term. Double dealing,lying public sellouts, graft taking millionaires the second term by the third they think their Gods and untouchable. Yep that summarizes the democrats of your elected

Mueller, Comey, McCabe, Schiffy and all the millions of dollars worth of resources couldn’t tie Trump to an impeachable criminal offense but MICHAEL COHEN, a documented liar, will finally solve the case! 😂😂😂

Only a denier and an ignorant would believe a convicted liar. The radical left adores convicted liars....

He was already found guilty for lying.

Can we get hillary’s lawyer in front of congress?

In true tacky democrat fashion, they hold the hearing on the same day POTUS is trying to keep peace between a known adversary. Pathetic.

All lies spewing from his mouth! Dems drooling! LindseyGrahamSC FoxNews

All the people involved in the hush money payment and coverup are very shady. MOST politicians are very shady. The world can be a dark place sometimes. Let’s pray that the light of Christ can overcome the darkness. Peace

CohenTestimony WalkAwayFromDemocrats WednesdayMotivation

You forgot convicted felon in the headline

BULL💩- hearing is a carefully orchestrated hit on President conveniently rescheduled 2 coincide with Trump-Kim summit to drive the news of the day. Dems hatred of Trump supersedes natl security & foreign policy. + Clinton stooge Lanny Davis TrumpKimSummit CohenTestimony

We will be keeping you posted on this.

Cohen is a liar and a cheat...just send him straight to jail. Then go after Hillary, Holder and the rest of the Dems who lied to Congress.

Here's what to watch out for

So the guy who lied before Congress and has been disbarred is going to testify before Congress and we’re to believe him LOL he’s a rat.......

What a joke

Hahahahahaha so let me get this straight a CONVICTED LIAR TO CONGRESS IS GOING BACK TO CONGRESS TO LIE AGAIN!!!!! Hahahahahahaha!!!! Hahahahahaha !!!!!!! Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! Can you say pathetic!! Yep 👍!! MAGA

Not interested he's a liar

Cohen is a spineless liar and today’s testimony will offer nothing in the way of proof of crime committed by President Trump. Democratic theater is all this is, nothing more.

breaking Kim Jong Un said his 2nd meeting w/ Donald Trump is thanks to a ‘courageous political decision’ by Trump. Kim said the ‘outside world’ has ‘misunderstood’ the US-North Korean relationship, but he plans on the Hanoi summit delivering ‘an outcome welcome by everyone’.

Thank God he wasn't an associate of the Clinton's, otherwise 'take a bullet' would be literal.

You mean convicted liar.

Nothing to watch if he had anything of true substance muller would have used it ! Just a dog and pony show for the disgraceful Democrats!

He should of wrote a book about his so called info on Trump before going in front of congress...lol..like MaCabe and Comey. People like fiction books

Hysterical watching the Trump Derangement Syndrome lunatics frothing at the mouth when Cohen said he’d “take a bullet” for Trump, but now he is God’s gift to the world and most honest person ever for doing a complete 180 and turning on Trump! Lol, gotta love TDS!!

Yeah because he’s SO credible. What a joke this whole Democratic Party is.

Why is alleged trump hush money from his own pocket illegal but Senators that used the multimillion dollar taxpayer funded hush fund is legal. How about we expose those that used the hush fund

The only bullet will be aimed at his ex boss 🤒

A lier is a democrat's best friend

Only a corrupt man needs to hire a “fixer” to cover up his dirty deeds. realDonaldTrump has a lot of skeletons hidden for decades in his closet.

EnemyOfThePeople would rather have viewers watch this FakeNews than the POTUS making history. TrumpKimSummit VietnamSummit KimJongUn KimTrumpSummit HanoiSummit

The President is in the middle of a trip abroad that is exceedingly important for our country, regardless of your politics. Glad CNN has a Michael Cohen countdown clock, though. Then they’ll wonder why their ratings suck.

It matters little what he says. Repubtards will say he's lying and MAGA hatters will continue to support the Amber buffoon.

Another one of trump's inner circle, was there for years and gosh, he's a liar and felon?! Shows how bad comrade trump is at picking his team, surrounds himself with scumbags.

He won't be lying this time he has nothing to lie about and no one to save

Cohen the Bull, taking down the Trump crime family, why do they keep focusing on his past lies, Mafia guys get convicted all the time by rats, only way they go down. Same thing here

anyone else concerned for his safety?!

He lied to the FBI but we are supposed to listen to him when he speaks to congress? Morons

I'll watch for entertainment. We all knows his record of lying to Congress. Screw them once that's on him, screw Congress twice and that is totally on the inept Congress. We'll never know if he is screwing them over

He also says he has no proof of collusion. So we're just letting him go before a pannel to hurl personal attacks that mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. What a proud moment....

We watch for a liar convicted for lying to Congress getting a do-over

He'd say anything... and the chances that any of it was true, or had any legal value, are slim to none. It's mostly a waste of time.

Meanwhile Trump is negotiating world peace.

I'm playing 'BOT OR GULLIBLE GRANDPARENT?' with all these replies. Pretty good score so far.

There is a reason why Cohen was disbarred, he will say and do anything to stay out of jail.

He's going to call the president a racist. He'll mention black people, but not Hispanic or Asian, so DJT only hates blacks according to Cohen. He'll also say he's going to prison for DJT, but in reality, it was his own taxi cab medallion scheme.

He’s the kind of Jew who would willingly point out other Jews to the Nazis in the Warsaw ghetto.

I heard he calls the president names like racist. The media does that all the time and look what it's done to them. He also claims he said he couldn't win. He was on CNN pushing back when they said the polls said Hillary would win. Repubs will out him today. LIAR

Cohen will go from felon to patriot.

No credibility either way. Already lied to Congress. This is a pathetic overreach.

TV BLACK OUT DAY.

The convicted liar and fraudster is going tell us all some tales 🙄

AP, you could only hope. Who put 'fixer' in quotes?

Remember when the DOTARDinChief was belittled by Kim? Let's make this trend today!

Me when Michaelcohen testifies

Who cares. He a lying liar.

The walls are “closing in” right? 😂😂

Don’t get too excited, Teflon-Don will skate through with massive hypocritical support from the GOP. Cohen Morals ReagansGOPisGone

Nothing will change. Trump will win in 2020. Hopefully the far left realizes that people want moderates. If not, the GOP will keep the presidency for the next 3 decades.

The democrats are doing all they can to win in 2020.

Him taking a bullet for his boss turned out to be another lie.

They'll believe everything the proven liar says. After all they believed Obama.

He’s full of shit. Everyone except the left knows that.
