Michael Cohen Testifies

Last week, Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to President Trump, testified in front of the House Oversight and Reform Committee. According to the New York Times, Cohen testified on Trump’s misbehavior and poor character by saying he has lied in the past about real estate deals and paying off an adult film actress. The testimony also included Cohen stating that Trump’s racism is even worse when in private meetings and evidence such as the $35,000 personal check from Trump as reimbursement of the hush money used to pay off his mistress. Cohen has worked with the Trump Organisation since 2007 as legal counsel, as reported by CNN, and before that was a New York attorney who bought apartments in Trump’s buildings and lobbied for Trump when other residents were in dispute with him.
