Cohen sticks it to Trump, shaking off GOP critics  |
| The only national emergency is Trump |
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Pres. Trump's former personal lawyer and "fix-it man" declared under oath today that Trump knew ahead of time and embraced the news when told that WikiLeaks had emails damaging to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
Michael Cohen also testified that Trump is a "racist," a "conman," and a "cheat."
Michael Cohen also testified that Trump is a "racist," a "conman," and a "cheat."
Cohen, called to testify by Democrats over the objections of Republicans, suggested that Trump also implicitly told him to lie about a Moscow real estate project.
Cohen has pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about the project, which he says Trump knew about as Cohen was negotiating with Russia during the 2016 election campaign.
The hearing was producing the most damning depiction to date of Trump's campaign and business operations from a onetime member of his inner circle. It was the latest step in Cohen's evolution from legal fixer for the president -- he once boasted he'd "take a bullet" for Trump -- to a foe who has implicated him in federal campaign finance violations.
"I am ashamed of my weakness and misplaced loyalty, of the things I did for Mr. Trump in an effort to protect and promote him," Cohen said. "I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump's illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience. I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is." More
