Trump’s disgraced former fixer was giving evidence as Congress prepares for the final report from a probe into possible collusion between his campaign and Russia — and with the president in Vietnam for a second historic summit with North Korea. Cohen said Trump implicitly directed him to lie about the project, and that White House lawyers “reviewed and edited” his testimony in 2017 when he lied to Congress about the Trump Tower negotiations.
“I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is. He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat,” Cohen said.Democratic Chairman Elijah Cummings said Cohen’s testimony was “deeply disturbing, and it should be troubling to all Americans.” Cohen appeared drawn as he began his testimony before the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, the only open and televised hearing of three scheduled for him this week on Capitol Hill.

Ex-Trump lawyer brands US president a 'conman' and 'racist'The US president’s disgraced former fixer Michael Cohen was giving evidence as Congress prepares for the final report from a probe into possible collusion between his campaign and Russia. Cohen is going to jail for lying to Congress. He is going to jail for tax evasion. He is not going to jail for anything he did for Trump. Trump just gave 100 billion for Urban development, meaning minority communities - he is the worst racist ever. Michael Cohen is a scorned man.....not so clean after all. Cowan tell the world something we don't already know.....
