Trump lawyer Giuliani, in message to NBCNews, praises Rep. Jordan's questioning of Michael Cohen.
Rep. Justin Amash's questioning of Cohen diverged from that of other GOP committee members. The Michigan congressman asked Cohen open questions that elicited contrite responses from Cohen, as opposed to the hostile lines of inquiry of other GOP members. For instance, Amash asked Cohen,"What is the truth fears most?" to which Cohen responded, "It's tough to question, sir.
In a text message to NBC News, President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said he's been most impressed with Republican Jim Jordan's performance during the first stages of Michael Cohen's hearing. "Jordan is so far the best lawyer by far," Giuliani said when asked for his thoughts on the performance of GOP House Oversight Committee members during Cohen's hearing.
A big moment during the hearing came when Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., asked Cohen if prosecutors are looking into other illegal acts by the president that have not been made public. Krishnamoorthi: "Is there any other wrongdoing or illegal act...regarding Donald Trump that we haven't yet discussed today?" Cohen:"Yes, and again, those are part of the investigation currently being looked at by the Southern District of New York.
Is the Cohen testimony overshadowing what should be a momentous Trump meeting with North Korea's Kim Jong Un? Well, yes. But by how much? A hint comes from Google Trends, which shows that public search interest in"Michael Cohen" has drastically dwarfed that of"North Korea." Hat tip to Philip Bump, national correspondent for The Washington Post. Google Trends"News Search" turns up a similarly lopsided graph. pic.twitter.
