‘New low’: Trump’s ex-lawyer takes stand

In explosive public testimony on Wednesday morning local time, Cohen claimed Mr Trump essentially directed him to lie about their work on a real estate project with Russia that continued well into the presidential campaign.

Cohen is testifying before the House of Representatives Oversight Committee on the second of three much-anticipated days of hearings on Capitol Hill. Tuesday’s first session at the Senate was held behind closed doors. 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. He did bad things unrelated to Trump. He is lying in order to reduce his prison time. Using Crooked’s lawyer!Holding hearings with Michael Cohen while PresidentDemocrats hatred of Trump is undercutting an important foreign policy effort and is way out of line.

“I am ashamed of my weakness and misplaced loyalty — of the things I did for Mr Trump in an effort to protect and promote him,” said Cohen. “I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr Trump’s illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience.Cohen shared a cheque he said Mr Trump wrote to knowingly reimburse him for an illegal scheme to pay hush money to a porn star.

He stated that Mr Trump had advance knowledge through longtime adviser Roger Stone that WikiLeaks planned to publish hacked emails from presidential opponent Hillary Clinton’s campaign.Cohen testified that Mr Trump, when he learned about the emails from Stone, said, “Wouldn’t that be great?” The lawyer stated that he did not have direct evidence that Mr Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia to defeat Ms Clinton, but had suspicions.

A testimony like Trump’s former lawyer’s 'has not been seen since Watergate' | Sky News AustraliaStephen Loosley says President Donald Trump’s former lawyer’s testimony will be ‘quite devastating’ and that ‘we haven’t seen anything like this since Watergate’.\n\nMichael Cohen will testify before Congress, alleging possible tax fraud and racist language by the President, according to US media.\n\nCohen was sentenced to three years in prison and will begin his custodial term in May over hush money payments to two women and a string of other crimes including tax evasion and lying to Congress.\n\n\n\n\n What's any of that got to do with Russia? Trump hardly knows Putin. Trump’s implemented policies make the US strong, not a win for Russia. In spite of attempts to claim that Putin interfered with voting machines, he didn’t. The collusion investigation is a hoax based on the Democrat funded & discredited Steele dossier. Alleging?
