Michael Cohen to testify publicly before House committee next week

Source: Marketwatch

Michael Cohen's public testimony before the House Oversight Committee has been rescheduled for Feb. 27, Rep. Elijah Cummings said late Wednesday. Cohen's hearing was delayed earlier this month as he recovers from shoulder surgery. In a statement, Cummings said the new hearing will begin at 10 a.m. next Wednesday. "Congress has an obligation under the Constitution to conduct independent and robust oversight of the Executive Branch, and this hearing is one step in that process," he said. The hearing will address President Donald Trump's payoffs, financial; disclosures, compliance with campaign finance laws, business practices and other matters, the statement said. Cohen was Trump's longtime personal attorney and fixer. He's set to appear in a closed-door session the next day, Feb. 28, with the House Intelligence Committee. Cohen pleaded guilty to charges including campaign-finance violations last year, and will start his three-year prison sentence in May.

And soon try and undermine this too? I suspend he'll be doing that for Stone , or attacking his judge for him soon. He knows Cohen has so much on him expect him to try to do something for both of these guys and will continue to try to prevent their testifying exposing him.

It's going to be on the same day that the Orange Stain is in Viet Nam with his killer cousin, Kim. I was so hoping that Cohen's testimony would be live.
