Stunning details emerge about Michael Cohen’s public testimony next week against Donald Trump
Earlier this evening we learned that Special Counsel Robert Mueller will supposedly drop the hammer on Donald Trump as soon as next week, and that Michael Cohen will definitely drop the hammer on Trump in public next week. Now we’re getting the details of just what all Cohen is set to reveal in front of the live television cameras, and it’s a doozy.
Michael Cohen will be testifying publicly before the House Oversight Committee next Wednesday, and privately before the House Intel Committee next Thursday. Both committees are controlled by the House Democrats. According to Andrew Desiderio of Politico, the agreed-upon topics for Cohen’s testimony will include things we saw coming, and things we didn’t see coming.
For instance, we now have confirmation that Michael Cohen will be testifying about Donald Trump’s illegal payoffs to silence his mistresses during the 2016 election. No surprise. But Cohen will also be testifying about Trump’s “compliance with tax laws.” That’s right, after all these years of trying to get our hands on Trump’s tax returns so we can see how he cheated, instead we’ll have Trump’s primary henchman simply announcing all the tax laws that he helped Trump break. There’s more.
Michael Cohen has also agreed to publicly testify next week about Donald Trump’s “business practices” which could include all of his criminal real estate projects, and “potentially fraudulent or inappropriate practices by the “Trump Foundation.” In addition, Cohen will reveal the full extent of Trump’s efforts to illegally intimidate Cohen out of testifying. Buckle up.
