As former Trump attorney and soon-to-be federal inmate Michael Cohen prepares to begin a three-day gauntlet of Congressional testimony on Tuesday, leaks in the press have detailed what Cohen might say both during his closed-door hearings and his public testimony before the House Oversight Committee.
As was widely expected given his attempts to deflect from his own crimes by agreeing to cooperate with federal prosecutors, Cohen will reportedly share never-before-revealed details about alleged criminal acts committed by President Trump while in office, according to reports by the Wall Street Journal and NBC News.
The hearing would be the first time Mr. Cohen alleges that Mr. Trump committed a crime while in office.
While the payments to both women were made in the weeks before the 2016 presidential election, Mr. Trump has faced questions from reporters about his possible knowledge of Mr. Cohen's subsequent reimbursement for the Clifford payment, as well as about whether he had any conversations with Mr. Cohen about efforts to conceal the payment after the Journal first reported its existence in January 2018.
Mr. Cohen's testimony is expected to focus on his "Behind-the-scenes" accounts of working for Mr. Trump for over a decade, a period during which Mr. Cohen will say he witnessed "Lies, racism and cheating" by Mr. Trump, the person said.
Mr. Cohen is expected to recount racist remarks Mr. Trump allegedly made to him, including instances in which Mr. Trump allegedly questioned the intelligence of African-Americans and criticized their lifestyle choices, the person said.
As Republicans who have objected to Cohen's testimony pointed out, Cohen has already pleaded guilty to lying to the Senate Intel Committee about the "Trump Tower Moscow" project back in 2017.
