Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former lawyer, will for the first time publicly accuse the president of criminal conduct while in office related to a hush-money payment to a porn star, a person familiar with his planned testimony before Congress said.
Appearing on Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee, Mr. Cohen also will make public some of Mr. Trump’s private financial statements and allege that Mr. Trump at times inflated or deflated his net worth for business and personal purposes, including avoiding paying property taxes, the person said. The financial statements were developed by Mr. Trump’s accountant, the person said. The Wall Street Journal hasn’t seen those statements.

Mr. Cohen is expected to recount racist remarks Mr. Trump allegedly made to him, including instances in which Mr. Trump allegedly questioned the intelligence of African-Americans and criticized their lifestyle choices, the person said.
Mr. Cohen’s planned testimony comes 13 months after The Wall Street Journal first reported that Mr. Cohen paid $130,000 in October 2016 to former adult-film star Stephanie Clifford, known as Stormy Daniels, to buy her silence after she alleged having a sexual encounter with Mr. Trump.

Skell trying to save his own skin
Making racist remarks, avoiding property taxes, inflating or deflating net worth for business and personal purposes, these all sound like things many Democrats are likely quite familiar with doing themselves.
Doesnt everyone want a lawyer with this sense of fiduciary responsibility...

So he was aggressive on property taxes and questioned the lifestyle choices of some .African Americans.
Basically that means he’s not stupid.
I am aggressive on all taxes and openly question the lifestyle hooves of many people
Just remember that this SLIME BUCKET LAWYER TAPED TRUMP!! What a CREEP!
I don't know what the demoncraps are all excited about. A non-credible witness is just that. Always.
Nowhere in that excerpt was an illegal act mentioned, and I am not going to the source to look for such a mention. It looks like a misleading headline to me, since I doubt that the rest of the article describes an illegal act either.
He plead guilty to, among other things, lying.
So we’re now supposed to take his utterance as the unvarnished truth?
One more thing...
Cohen was not Trump’s only lawyer. He had had many. The press always makes it sound like Cohen was it, the one, and Trump was there scheming with him, like Holmes and Watson. Whereas in many cases, a Trump underling would dispatch orders to Cohen, who then did his lawyer things per overall general orders, or even vague ideas.
Cohen was involved in some sort of scam with Taxi Medallions in NYC presumably via his father-in-law? Mueller is thought to be threatening him with prison for life unless he, Cohen, testifies against the President.
And then there are issues of Attorney-Client privilege, of a hooker who has lost in court, of a special prosecutor (Mueller) who has himself run afoul of the law ...
And Trump holds the FISA declas over their heads and so much more.
This is all about delay, delay, delay to 2020 while projecting onto Trump what they themselves are guilty of. These people are desperate.
Cohen graduated from one of the worst law schools in the country. He wasn’t hired for his legal skills.
>>> a person familiar with his planned testimony before Congress said. <<<
Journalism is dead. Fake News.
Lying, liars, lie.
I saw that too. More anonymous sources nonsense.
If Michael Cohen testified that the sun rose in the east and set in the west I would head out to San Diego to watch the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean.
>>And Trump holds the FISA declas over their heads and so much more.
Which I believe Trump is waiting to release in 2020 for maximum dramatic/political effect.
so why hasn't mulehead done anything about it then???
This is going to be said while Trump is out of the country, meeting Kim.
Ergo, he won’t have much opportunity to respond.
Right...
“...publicly accuse the president of criminal conduct while in office related to a hush-money payment to a porn star...
1.) Cohen does not have the authority to decree a matter criminal.
2.) Paying hush money is not a crime.
3.) All politicians spend money to effect an election, to use the prosecutor’s language.
