The president’s former lawyer is scheduled to begin three consecutive days of interviews with Congress.

President Trump’s former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen returns this week to Capitol Hill, where he is expected to deliver specific and scathing testimony about his former boss’s business interests in Russia and a scheme to buy the silence of adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

According to a person familiar with his planned testimony, Cohen intends to paint Trump as a liar, a cheater and a racist during interviews with three congressional committees, two of which will take place behind closed doors. He is expected to share anecdotes about Trump’s behavior — Daniels alleged she had an affair with Trump years ago, a claim the president denies — as well as his financial dealings, the person said.

Both intelligence committees are expected to press Cohen about how long into the 2016 presidential campaign he continued to pursue plans for a Trump Tower project in Russia. Lawmakers also are expected to ask Cohen, who was closely involved in Trump’s financial affairs, whether any foreign actors — Russian or otherwise — may have leverage over the president, his children and close associates, or their business interests.

Although topics related to Russia will be off-limits during Wednesday’s public hearing, it is possible that that testimony will have the most significant impact on Trump’s reputation, with Cohen expected to offer an unflattering, behind-the-scenes portrait of the president as a person and businessman.

Cohen’s testimony has been a long time in coming. He had agreed to speak with the House Oversight panel in early February but canceled as the date approached, citing alleged “threats” the president had made to him and his family. Cohen canceled planned closed-door interviews with the intelligence committees over health issues and unspecified details involving the investigations of Russia’s interference in the election and whether Trump’s campaign conspired with those efforts.

Is Cohen getting ready to write his own tell-book with all this publicity?

Oh Stormy Days!🌩️ StormyDaniels realDonaldTrump StormyTrump 💋😲

Note years of involvm't w/ Ukr Mob (Topolov, Artemenko, Firtash) and 💰laund'g via gas trade w/Manafort's client Yanukovich, all linked to Mogilevich (and Cohen's sist-in-law, dtr of mobster in Ukr/Toronto) Cohen was dirty, but can aid Justice now: Rs will try hard to discredit

I don't think this country is impressed by 'scathing' any more. It's a hackneyed term

i’m all 👂’s.

TESTIMONY. UNDER OATH. AGAIN. REALLY. Who was THAT STUPID.

He's an admitted liar...and if he had any proof of ANYTHING, he'd have used it. What honest & sane person would take what this clown shared for anything other than what it is...RUMORMONGERING.?

And CNN and the Are wetting their pants in antisapation.

So yo are saying this has nothing to do with the law or Russia? Just personal hatred of Trump?

Republican Snowflakes must remember, Cohen has tapes and paperwork to backup what tells the American people.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 is he now the hero? Are we to believe him now?

Oh cool it will be like Amorosa II! He is going to look like an idiot with nothing we haven't heard before. Maybe he should read pages from your man Wolfe's book too. Let's bring in all the clowns.

No One Cares

Ive got the popcorn on standbye. Cant wait.

Hope so!!

Wasn't he convicted for lying to Congress? Following Rep. Omar's words at a recent hearing, why should the American people believe Cohen?

Great .. now we here more BS from a convicted liar.. Democrats will love this!! I guess the Democrats have nothing better to do?

He is going to jail for being a liar. He is hoping to fleece the Democrats with a book deal or get a reduced sentence.

Let's take this convicted felons word for it 👍

When your down to listening to liars like Cohen and McCabe, desperation is afoot.

I’ll be tuned in even if I’m sick I’ll pop up on props I’ll try to hop around to stay on top of things at the end of the day I’ll drop back into bed 🛌 before I feel choppy I just need to get myself back up to enjoy the good old me times again so I can get to harvest my crop now

Very good tv show

A known liar is going to “testify” 😂

In this twitter age the media is so fixated an getting the scoop they try to make news before it happens. Let’s wait to hear what the man has to say and if it’s a big story let’s hear about it.

Because he’s such a believable guy

Yawn...nothing new.

He's been working on the lies for months.

May as well... he's all washed up. Might get a book deal out of it.

Wrong. It has always been Trump’s s*hit show. Cohen is just doing a blow by blow.

Obama put economy on wright track and Trump is taking credit for it. The only thing Trump did is kept starving lawyers busy and gave money to millionaires.

Well, as much as I am here for this it will ultimately mean nothing if he doesn’t have any receipts...

Most Americans are sick of this. The Trump haters are the only ones that will be glued to the TV for testimony of a liar the rest of us will focus on North Korea and China and democrats killing babies born alive

I've been hearing for months and months about how the next witness, the next cooperator, the next hearing, the next investigation, the next prosecutor, the next indictment is going to bring down the Trump presidency . . . it's all media theatrics and a bunch of Democratic crock.

The fix is in

This is a dog and pony show. Mueller already has this information and more. It is becoming abundantly clear that Dems are worried that the Mueller found no collusion and are trying to pivot elsewhere.

Uh oh.

That's it guys, the great political earthquakes of our time. We have Trump. We have Russia. And we have 'Stormy Daniels'?

Lol

The end of Lawyer-client privilege, one of the cornerstones of ruling class power to avoid responsibility and to unjustly enrich themselves at honest peoples expense

Blablabla liar

Tell the freaking truth this time Cohen, RUMP DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU!

Stormy Daniel's talks about Trumps very tiny dicky

This will be another dog and pony show which will not sway each side.
