Cohen to Testify: Trump A “Racist, Conman, Cheat'
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Michael Cohen, US President Donald Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, will provide documents to the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday that he says prove Trump’s “illicit” acts, a report said.
According to prepared congressional testimony obtained by Politico, the documents include a check that Trump purportedly wrote after he became president to reimburse Cohen for a hush-money payment to the adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, who alleges she had an affair with Trump.
Cohen says the money came from Trump’s personal bank account.
“I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr. Trump’s illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience,” Cohen will say.
“I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is.” Cohen adds, “He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat.”
In his prepared remarks, Cohen will also say Trump knew that his longtime associate Roger Stone “was talking with Julian Assange about a WikiLeaks drop of Democratic National Committee emails.”
