During the Russia investigations in 2017, Michael Cohen, former attorney to President Donald Trump, revealed that he was subpoenaed to testify before the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. This marked the first time Cohen had been called to testify before Congress, a situation he described as putting 'a tremendous amount of pressure' on him.
One notable detail that emerged during Cohen's testimony was the fact that his attorney at the time was being paid by the Trump Organization. When asked about the significance of this arrangement, Cohen acknowledged that it was 'very much so' important to him. He explained that he felt the need for legal support from Trump during that period, emphasizing its extreme importance to him.
Cohen's testimony shed light on the complexities and challenges he faced while navigating the investigations related to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. His experience of being subpoenaed by Congress underscored the high stakes and intense scrutiny surrounding the investigations.
