The Democrat-led House Intelligence Committee has launched an investigation into claims brought forth by Michael Cohen, the president's former personal attorney, who has suggested that members of President Donald Trump's legal team edited his statement to Congress about a prospective Trump Tower-Moscow project.
Cohen, who is currently serving a three-year prison term at the federal corrections facility in Otisville, New York, pleaded guilty late last year to lying to Congress about the content of that statement. Sekulow has denied the claims, writing in a statement at the time that"today's testimony by Michael Cohen that attorneys for the President edited or changed his statement to Congress to alter the duration of the Trump Tower Moscow negotiations is completely false.
"The materials we are requesting in these letters go to the heart of that investigation and to Congress's ability to conduct meaningful oversight," Schiff said.
Go get him...NOW! 😠 VoteThemOut2020
Near the end of his response you can almost see the exact moment when the President of the United States notices he’s begun to ramble with his “no collusion” talking points and then panics when he realizes he’s forgotten the question & has just praised Michael Cohen’s character.
He’s ill. He’s repeating himself over & over

House panel accuses Barr of contempt - Reuters TVA Democratic-led House panel on Wednesday approved a measure to hold U.S. Attorney General William Barr in contempt for refusing to hand over an unredacted copy of the Mueller report on Russian election interference even as President Donald Trump invoked the legal principle of executive privilege to block its disclosure. TV Handing over an unredacted copy of the report would have been ILLEGAL. And the panel knows that. This is stupid political theater by the insane Democrats on that panel. TV This is a complete joke. The entire Mueller Report (unredacted) has been available to Congress since it was released. This is nothing more than a bunch of huffing and puffing by the Left because they aren’t happy with the outcome TV They are after Barr becouse he is going to investigate the origins of the russia hoax !
