Cohen will tell Congress of alleged Trump criminal conduct, source says

Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.During his much-anticipated public testimony before Congress on Wednesday, President Donald Trump's former longtime attorney Michael Cohen will provide evidence of his old boss's alleged criminal conduct since becoming president, a knowledgeable source about what to expect told NBC News.

And, according to the source, there is much more that congressional investigators and viewers can expect Cohen to provide. Cohen will detail his allegations of the president's lies, racism and cheating as a private businessman while Cohen spent a decade working for him, the source said. Cohen will also give lawmakers information about Trump's financial statements and might actually provide the statements, the source said. This information would require the president's long-held secret tax returns in order to verify, providing an avenue for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to request those returns. The source noted the allegation that Trump deflated the value of his properties in some cases to reduce his property taxes.

Cohen's three-day appearance begins Tuesday with closed-door testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee. Only the Wednesday hearing before the House Oversight Committee is scheduled to be made public.

True Michael Cohen is a liar. But if we agree he is lying to Congress then isn’t it than true that the implications of the questions are by definition true? Are not the essence of those questions damning in alluding and illuminating Mr. Trumps character or lack there of? Thinking

Cohen has been practicing and being coached by Hillary's lawyer to try to frame Trump. Maybe Democrats like a liar but I am sure America will see through this charade.

It's amazing that TRUMP still has about 90% support among Congress Repubs! Mitch McConnel is the worst, asking his fellow Repubs to support Trumps non-sensical border emergency and in the process willing to GIVE UP CONGRESS's check and balance obligation!

Can’t wait!!

Questions: 1. Did you lie when you thought you could blackmail POTUS to give you a pardon? Jim_Jordan ask the question. 2. Did you knowingly engage in illegal acts while serving Trump as your client? 3. Having failed to get a pardon, are you mad at realDonaldTrump ?

Morning Joe needs to explain the mysterious death in his congressional office. It ended his political career and forced him to flee (and never return to) Florida.

Nope. I won't reward you for helping put Rs in power by tuning in to MSNBC ever. For any reason. DeadToMe because I actually RESIST all enemies of my country.

Alarm clock ⏰ set 😉

Why bother? He already proved that swearing to tell the truth under oath doesn't apply to himself, and when he's trying to get out of a jam. 🙄

Wouldn’t miss it!!

Still so many hours to wait😣

Do you mean today?

Or just bypass the new HUAC's coverage and read his testimony here

Can't wait!
