Cohen is scheduled to report to prison on May 6 and will have to face questions from Democrats on Trump's business deals and hush-money payments.
WASHINGTON: Michael Cohen is about to make his long-awaited public appearance before Congress amid partisan debate over how much damage Donald Trump’s ex-fixer and longtime lawyer can do to his former boss.
The main event for the public will be Wednesday, when he testifies in an open session of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. Cohen’s testimony is reported by the Journal and The New York Times to also include allegations that Trump used racist language.“Obviously, he has a story to tell and he wants to tell it. And I want him to tell it,” said Democrat Gerald Connolly, a Virginia Democrat and the chairman of the Oversight subcommittee on government operations. When it comes to Trump’s businesses and Trump personally, Connolly said, “This is not just some marginal figure.
Cohen’s has admitted that he lied to Congress last year when he testified that a proposed Trump tower in Moscow had been scrapped in Jan 2016. In fact, he said, the talks continued through June of that year, well into Trump’s presidential campaign.
