President Trump's former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen is scheduled to appear before three congressional committees in three consecutive days this week, starting today behind closed doors before the Senate Intelligence Committee
"I take full responsibility for each act that I pled guilty to: The personal ones to me and those involving the President of the United States of America," he said.
"This is one moment in history. And when you get to my age, and you look back and you realize, these moments are very, very, very significant. It may very well be a turning point in our country's history, I don't know," Cummings said. Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the top Republican on the panel, has slammed Cummings for holding the hearing in the first place, and he's signaled that GOP committee members have no plans of adhering to the scope of the hearing that Cummings has outlined.
"Did they go beyond what he told us about Moscow Trump Tower into other areas as well?" Schiff said."Who would have been aware of the false testimony that he was giving? What other light can he shed now that he's cooperating on issues of obstruction of justice or collusion? What more could he tell us about the Trump Tower New York meeting or any other issues relevant to our investigation. We think he has a lot to offer.
"Hypothetically, I would hope that we would hear the truth from him, and that he would be asked the same questions he was asked the last time to see what the answers are this time," said Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine Republican. Cohen scrapped his initial date to testify publicly citing threats that Trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani made against his family. Then Cohen postponed his House Intelligence Committee appearance, which Schiff attributed vaguely to"the interests of the investigation."
