With Cohen's prepared testimony offering new claims on Trump and WikiLeaks, here's a flashback to the president saying"WikiLeaks" more than 140 times in the final weeks leading up to the 2016 election.
According to his prepared statement, Cohen is providing"a copy of a check Mr. Trump wrote from his personal bank account – after he became president - to reimburse [Cohen] for the hush money payments [Cohen] made to cover up his affair with an adult film star and prevent damage to his campaign." While there's an argument that pre-office activity is not impeachable, the framers of the U.S.
MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber gives his legal perspective going into the hearing. With the documentation Cohen plans to provide Congress, Melber said, the hearing's end result"will not just be a 'he said, he said.'" Melber also addressed a controversial tweet from Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fl., Tuesday night targeting Cohen that some said amounted to witness tampering.
Cohen, according to his prepared remarks, will provide the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform with a pair of $35,000 checks he received in 2017 that he says were reimbursements for the $130,000 hush money payment he made to porn star Stormy Daniels weeks before the 2016 election. The payment was made to keep Daniels silent about her allegation of a 2006 affair with Trump, an affair the White House has vehemently denied.
That’s right. Disgusting
What I don't get is why RepMarkMeadows cared. 11th District in North Carolina is all white racist. I know, I live there.
Disgusting and offensive Lawrence‼️
So her assertion is, everyone who supports Trump is a racist or a prop? This is beyond demagoguery and well past McCarthyism.
Yes. Amen. Thank you Rep Lawrence! Meadows is out of touch.
FakeNews
Lynne Patton knows, like other black officials in Trump's HUD (e,g, Shermichael), that she will lose her job if she doesn't perform for massa on demand. I, Lawrence, Tlaib, and many others saw her appearance as a racist stunt and we expect a racist to say it wasn't racist.
“That's literally exactly what he stated in both his written and oral testimony as the following video clip makes clear. /MSNBC are ridiculous. Their Capital Hill correspondent is tweeting blatant falsehoods to hundreds of thousands of people.” - wikileaks
What is insulting is that you democrats can't get over the fact that we chose a slimy businessman over Hillary. Get over it.
If President had 100 Blacks or ppl of color working for him Dems would still complain. It’s not number of Blacks working for him that matters it’s what he’s doing for the Black Communities & that’s far more than Dems have done in over 50 yrs. even a Black Pres. don’t do anything.
Wow! Don’t we have lovely people representing us? Not!
Congresswoman Lawrence was so right. What is wrong with these clueless, insensitive men?
One member? President Trump has more support in black community than last 3 GOP President's combined.
Hmm...& to Presume President Trump only Hired ONE Black Person is Insulting!!...In Fact I can Remember a Black Cabinet Member who got FIRED for Violating the Rules of the White House/Oval Office...How Quickly Liberals Forget!!
Meadows 'The unbigoted', said a couple of years ago that they were going to 'send Obama back to Kenya or wherever he came from'...… Why would someone think he was a racist?
The I can't be racist because I have a black friend defense never gets old.
Racist move by Meadows. He determined that he is a racist by his ignorant action by showcasing a black pawn. Disgraceful on his and the black ladies part. She has allowed herself to be used before.
Having this habitual liar testify is insulting
What about the governor of Virginia in black face, Is that racist? O wait he is a Democrat so it’s ok.
The woman was a damn fool for coming. Sometimes it’s necessary to identify the weak among us.
Wait wasn’t the Apprentice on NBC? Are you guys saying you knowingly made money off of a knowingly racist person? Or that you didn’t know he was racist till now? 😂
Mark Meadows said about Obama, 'We will send him back home to Kenya or wherever it is.' Is he racist, he speaks like one.
To be sure, President Trump's policies have propped up more African-Americans than any president since the Civil Rights Era of the 1960's!!!!
