The presidents former attorney and fixer will testify before Congress next week. According to his attorney, Lanny Davis, Cohen has a lot to sayBy RYAN BORT FEBRUARY 21, 2019 3:57PM ET
Michael Cohen, President Trumps embattled former lawyer and fixer, was set to testify before Congress on February 7th. Then, late last month, he backed out, citing fear over threats from his former boss. A day after Cohen reconsidered voluntarily appearing before Congress, the Senate Intelligence Committee left him with no choice, issuing a subpoena that effectively forced him to testify. Hell do so next week. A lot.
On Tuesday, Cohen will sit down for a private session with the Senate Intelligence Committee. On Wednesday, hell appear publicly before the House Oversight Committee. On Thursday, hell appear before the House Intelligence Committee for another closed-door session. If Cohens attorney Lanny Davis is to be believed (a big if, no doubt), we could learn a lot about Trumps potential involvement in criminal activity.
He will pull the curtain back and we will hear true stories of Trumps complicity in crimes, and his immoral, bigoted, and morally vacant character in specific, detailed personal anecdotes, Davis said of his clients upcoming testimony, according to former White House counsel John Dean, who appeared on Anderson Cooper 360 on Wednesday. I think hes a powerful witness, Dean said. Hes been with the president for a long time. He knows his business practices I think he is potentially a very dangerous witness for the president.
