Michael Cohen left House Democrats with numerous strings to pull in their investigation of President Trump.
By Rachael Bade Rachael Bade Congressional reporter Email Bio February 28 at 3:07 PM House Democrats moved quickly Thursday to investigate a host of fresh allegations made this week by President Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, including potentially calling top Trump business associates and family members as witnesses on Capitol Hill.
Cohen, who worked as Trump’s fixer for more than a decade, testified Wednesday about a number of key players, including Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer; Trump’s children, Donald Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump; and his longtime secretary, Rhona Graff. “There’s one thing that I think should not be missed that came out of the hearing . . . and that is how [Trump] directed payments into the foundation to keep from paying taxes,” Waters said. “I think there’s more than we know about at this time. I think that’s an area that should be looked at because I think the foundation has been used by him to avoid paying taxes on money he’s earned.”
“Mr. Cohen testified that President Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Mr. Weisselberg were all active participants in this financial conspiracy,” Democrats wrote in a series of findings from the hearing released Wednesday evening.
