Two of President Donald Trump's biggest allies in Congress on Thursday told the Justice Department that Michael Cohen appears to have lied in his sworn testimony to Congress, where he made a slew of damning claims against Trump.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> House Oversight Committee ranking member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr accusing Trump's former personal lawyer and fixer of making a series of"intentionally false statements designed to make himself look better on a national stage.""Mr.
The two Republicans want the Justice Department to investigate whether Cohen's allegedly false testimony broke the law. Cohen, 52, appeared before three congressional committees this week, having already pleaded guilty last year to tax evasion and campaign-finance violations, as well as lying to Congress in prior testimony in 2017. He is scheduled to report to prison in May for a three-year sentence.Mr. Cohen testified truthfully before the House Oversight Committee. He took full responsibility for his guilty pleas. He also backed up much of his testimony with documents.
KevinWilliamB And your point IS? You BIASED CORRUPT LYING FAKE NEWS!!
Why even tweet this? Embarrassing
I'm thinking these GOP guys need some seriously better public relations staffers.
who would think a sleazy corrupt lying lawyer who has been convicted of perjury and is going to jail would lie again under oath to reduce his jail time? certainly not disgraceful RepCummings and rabid anti Trump Dems!
Who doesn't when you are on your way to jail.
Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows could not even defend Trump during the hearing. They failed almost as bad as Trump did in Vietnam. Totally pathetic performance from a couple of losers.
So did sessions, Kushner, ivanka, trump kids and trump. Not to mention jim jordan covered up for a molester.
Only Trump tells the truth.
Whether or not he wanted a position in the admin - immaterial- whether or not he's a good lawyer - that is impossible to prove, immaterial the form with the gov't thing was signed properly- they misread it..... won't matter This whole thing is probably going nowhere.
Silly... We know Trump is a crook/conman
Well let you know after we subpoena Trumps taxes...
Liar or not, This is the man Trump had by his side for 10 years.
Bombshell? It's the same garbage. Lots of slander, no proof and more testimony that the Russian collusion investigation is a witch hunt.
Put Trump and Cohen on a polygraph and lets just see who may be the liar -- Bet Trump is !
when he referred to himself as a 'fool'? or when he says he followed blindly? or when he said he had to lie to first lady about her husband fucking a porn star? yeah he painted a nice pic of himself.
Meadows and Jordan are witness tampering
