NEW: President Trump knew in advance that WikiLeaks was going to release hacked Democratic emails during the 2016 election, Michael Cohen will say in congressional testimony Wednesday according to a draft opening statement leaked to several media outlets.

Cohen is also expected to testify that Trump not only lied about his business dealings in Russia during the election — a subject of interest for investigators — but urged Cohen to do so without making a direct ask.

Cohen, 52, will be offering congressional testimony in public for the first time just weeks before he’s slated to report to federal prison in early May. "Questions have been raised about whether I know of direct evidence that Mr. Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia," he will say, according to the statement."I do not."The House Oversight Committee hearing, which will begin at 10 a.m. ET and could last four to five hours, comes a day after Cohen appeared in a closed-door hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee. On Thursday, Cohen will meet in closed session with the House Intelligence Committee.

“It may very well may be a turning point in our country’s history, I don’t know, I don’t know," added Cummings."But what we want to do is conduct a fair hearing, we want a civil hearing and we want to be effective and efficient in letting the American people know what is going on.”The top Republican on the committee, Rep.

“The oversight staff are trying to play traffic conductors," said one Democratic aide who has reviewed planned questions from some members, but “people are going to want to go there” on Russian ties. Cummings' office has not responded to inquiries about how he will handle any divergence from the approved lines of questioning. However, another aide said Cohen’s lawyers are likely to control how much information he gives on Russia.

Sue Trump for immigration laws that already existed?! 😂🤣😂 You're too funny

the trump campaign couldve requested exclusivity of the dump and, if honored, forwarded those docs to the doj... or even briefed the obama administration... either way, one can conclude that sanction immunity was promised

This should surprise no one Trump is extremely weak minded and has repeatedly disclosed, blurted out information he wasn’t supposed to. He must be an absolute joke/easy mark to Putin/Russia & Kim Jong-un

Yea, because you can believe everything Cohen says... Give me a break !!

FakeNews

We been knew this...

Oh shit.

Yeah! So? Liberals didn't care when the Pentagon Papers were stolen...Get to the point of what was on the Wiki Leaks...Hillary's corruption, bribery, Russian Treason, and selling out the US for $$$ Sweet $$$$ !!!

Ok

All you have is this nonsense propaganda that you keep feeding. The real crimes will never be reported.. you are a disgrace to journalism. When the people finally wake up from their brainwashed sleep, they will come for you.. good luck then..

Michael Cohen is already slated for prison because he's a lier. Enough said.

I totally believe this honest citizen he's not lying has no reason to............but shortening his jail sentence. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cohen was a lawyer for civil purposes , not a Fusion GPS agent and didn’t hang out at Trump campaign. Good try

Yawn

Braze for impact ladys and gents..soon we will all learn the world will learn that the president of the usa is a criminal and a russian puppet. The only question remains will the american gov act or let him stay in office.

Did Bernie already know he was being cheated? Who else knew the DNC was rigging the primary? Lmao 🤫🤡🤡🤡

Whether it’s legal or not is not what we should be concerned with, but how can the GOP tolerate such low and despicable behavior Republican or Democrat, we are all Americans first!! Russia is our enemy! Someone please explain this to our President!!!

Signed, sealed, delivered! Fingers crossed 🤞‼️

..........and..........?

Fake News!!! democratranmedia fakenews fakejournalism

Trump is NOT above the law! The FBI + the Oversight Committee on behalf of the American public, must pursue justice & prosecute crimes committed by this admin & accomplices. Impeach prosecute Nullify this admin into oblivion. 🙏🏻🇺🇸⚖️ repeal legislation & remove ALL appointments

This is the doozies.

So it's treason, then?

Attorney Nick M Frisco & his partner Dr. Mark J Rand put my 5 years old daughter into two false and premeditated rape tests against me! Attorney Robert W Harold put me in jail 4 months without any jury trails! He got paid for one year! I want justice! Why are they above the laws.

very legal. very cool.

Treason ..

Today, what does Cohen gain from sharing fabricated tales of wrongdoing He is convicted and sentenced. If he tells the truth and the public believes him, his reputation might somewhat improve? He will be subject to perjury from today's testimony. He is going to jail. Period.

Can't wait! Tick tock.

Michael Cohen plans to call Trump a 'racist,' a 'cheat' and a 'conman' in congressional testimonyPresident Donald Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen plans to deliver an explosive testimony before U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday, according to a draft copy of his opening remarks to Congress. In other words anything to convince people to reduce his sentence. He’s about to tell the truth. Trump will be supported by the GOP and that is the real crime. The GOP is an agglomeration of lickspittles, goons, liars, and corrosive sycophants and will be remembered as a loosely strung pack of jackals usurping the ethical foundation of America.
