Chairman Cummings, Ranking Member Jordan, and Members of the Committee, thank you for inviting me here today.

I have asked this Committee to ensure that my family be protected from Presidential threats, and that the Committee be sensitive to the questions pertaining to ongoing investigations. Thank you for your help and for your understanding.

I am here under oath to correct the record, to answer the Committee’s questions truthfully, and to offer the American people what I know about President Trump.

A $35,000 check signed by Donald Trump on Aug. 1, 2017 (after he became president) will be displayed during Michael Cohen's testimony to the House Oversight Committee today, a source close to Cohen tells Axios.

"It was another installment in the illegal hush money 'reimbursed' to Cohen ... for [the Stormy Daniels] hush money payoff," the source said.

Michael Cohen to Reportedly Produce Second Hush Money Check Signed by Donald Trump, Jr.
https://www.mediaite.com/tv/michael-cohen-to-reportedly-produce-second-hush-money-check-signed-by-donald-trump-jr/


Last summer, Andrew C. McCarthy broke down the reasons the payments could be problematic for Trump and his business.


For each installment, it was up to Cohen to submit an invoice. Prosecutors intimate that these invoices, and the processing of them, were fraudulent: The pertinent records indicate that the payments were for legal services rendered in 2017 pursuant to a retainer agreement. In reality, prosecutors counter, the payments were for campaign expenditures in 2016; they were not for legal services. And Cohen did not have a retainer agreement to provide legal services.

[snip]

The Times report explains that the Manhattan DA’s interest is piqued because it is potentially a state-law felony for a business to misrepresent the basis for a reimbursement — e.g., to claim or deduct as a “legal expense” something that was not a legal expense.

[snip]

Such an investigation could expand into a state tax probe of the Trump Organization — at least to the extent of its accounting for Cohen’s reimbursement.

As the Times further notes, a president has no power to pardon violations of state law.

John Dean at least had an impressive appearance about him that made for powerful testimony. Michael Cohen has loser written all over him. I can almost hear television sets across the country switching to the knitting channel.

Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer, is testifying in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform Tuesday morning. Cohen will likely be asked to discuss Trump’s business practices and what he has described as hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels, as well as his assertion in prepared remarks that Trump knew ahead of time that WikiLeaks had emails damaging to Hillary Clinton.

He's going to jail because he covered up for Trump?  Turned red when he talked about affair and FLOTUS.

She's asking him to speculate ... she's asking for proof ... he's saying turn to senate select committee.  Cohen -- Trump would do anything to win.

Catch and kill???  Sounds more like something Hillary was involved in.  Only with Hillary, it wouldn't just be about purchasing a "story".

Cohen testimony: Lying to First Lady about hush-money payments 'one of my biggest regrets'

By Morgan Gstalter - 02/27/19 11:09 AM EST
 

President Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen on Wednesday testified that lying to First Lady Melania Trump about hush-money payments to women the president allegedly had affairs with was one of his “biggest regrets.“

Cohen told the House Oversight Committee called then-candidate Trump a “conman" for orchestrating the payments.

“He asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair and to lie to his wife about it, which I did,” Cohen said in prepared remarks.

“Lying to the First Lady is one of my biggest regrets,” Cohen continued. “She is a kind, good person. I respect her greatly and she did not deserve that.”
