HOUSE OF REPS/MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Michael Cohen, former personal lawyer and fixer for Donald Trump, lodged a series of explosive accusations against the president in his prepared testimony before the House Oversight Committee, further incensing the man he once claimed he’d take a bullet for. While many of the accusations are ones long posited by Trump’s political adversaries, some of them are new claims that touch on Trump’s obsessions with his personal image and public brand. Cohen also offered new evidence to support past allegations against the president, seeking to counter inevitable attacks from House Republicans that Cohen is an unreliable source. Cohen has pleaded guilty to a litany of crimes including lying to Congress, but with his prison sentence set to begin next month, the former Trump crony has little to lose in baring all.”
