Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former fixer and personal lawyer, returned to Capitol Hill on Wednesday for a House Oversight Committee hearing. Here are the highlights of his testimony so far.
- Cohen has alleged that Trump knew in advance that the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks planned to publish hacked Democratic National Committee emails.
- He has sparred aggressively with GOP lawmakers, who have questioned his credibility and motives for coming forward.
- He detailed how deeply and personally involved Trump was in the scheme to pay off an adult-film actress who alleged that she had an affair with Trump.
- He described how he, like many in Trump’s orbit, had long sought to protect the president, but made clear: “I am not protecting Mr. Trump anymore.”
- He has suggested that federal prosecutors are investigating unspecified criminal allegations involving the president that have not been made public.
