Democrats want to put every sordid Cohen claim about Donald Trump's character on public display, while Republicans put Cohen's character front and center.
Rep. Jim Jordan took a direct attack on Cohen's motivations for turning on Trump, accusing Cohen of score-settling over getting left out of the White House.
Cohen goes on to explain that he didn't take that job because it would have eliminated the attorney-client privilege on his other work for Trump.
Jordan fires back that he's just like everyone else fired by Trump, such as Andrew McCabe and James Comey, badmouthing Trump to settle personal scores "After you didn't get the thing you want." Cohen says, "I got exactly what I wanted."
Since the presidential campaign, Cohen routinely saw himself on the losing end of bitter feuds between himself and other Trump associates, including former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who received the kind of treatment and favor from Trump that Cohen had craved.
In the months before the election, when Mr. Trump reshuffled his campaign for a third time and named Steve Bannon as campaign chief, Mr. Cohen told associates he had expected to be tapped for the role, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Trump decided that bringing Mr. Cohen inside the White House carried too many risks, according to people familiar with the discussions.
