President Donald Trump (45) might be in testy waters with the testimony of his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen. The long-awaited public testimony took place Wednesday morning and it seems he hasn’t held much back with receipts to show as well.
The testimony began with a 30-minute long opening statement. Cohen spilled the beans calling 45 a “racist” and “con-man” who lied and intimidated him as his attorney. He then provided receipts of a $35,000 payout to Stormy Daniels and spoke on other lies that folded in his time with the Trump Administration. This check was said to be only 1 of 11.
Cohen addressed the lie to Congress in 2017 about 45’s plans on a Trump Tower in Moscow.
“Mr. Trump knew of and directed the Trump Moscow negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it. He lied about it because he never expected to win. He also lied about it because he stood to make hundreds of millions of dollars on the Moscow real estate project. And so I lied about it too,” said Cohen.
“Mr. Trump had made clear to me, through his personal statements to me that we both knew were false and through his lies to the country, that he wanted me to lie. And he made it clear to me because his personal attorneys reviewed my statement before I gave it to Congress.”
The hearing continues and more allegations are thrown out against the Trump Administration throughout the hearing that we will update.
