Michael Cohen's Scathing Opening Statement Is Littered With Bombshells
Michael Cohen’s public testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday is something every American should watch. It was reported on Tuesday that Cohen would offer several damning allegations about President Trump, including that he engaged in criminal conduct while in office. Cohen’s opening statement lives up to the hype.
Obtained Tuesday night by Politico, the statement’s 20 pages contain a month’s worth of bombshell revelations about the president, covering everything from what Trump allegedly knew prior to the 2016 election to his efforts to prevent the release of his college transcripts. Cohen also provided documentation to corroborate certain elements of his testimony, including a reimbursement check signed by Trump for the pre-election hush money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
“I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is,” Cohen writes. “He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat.”
Trump, who is currently in Hanoi, Vietnam, meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, was quick to respond. “Michael Cohen was one of many lawyers who represented me (unfortunately),” Trump wrote. “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!”
