Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen appeared before Congress today to testify pursuant to a subpoena. Cohen, who has been a central figure in various investigations involving President Trump, was called to testify before the House Oversight Committee.
During the hearing, an incident occurred when President Trump waited until Cohen walked by him to look up at him. The interaction between the two men was noted by observers and added a tense moment to the proceedings.
Cohen's testimony covered a range of topics, including his work for President Trump and his involvement in hush money payments to women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump. Cohen also discussed his cooperation with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Members of the committee questioned Cohen about his past actions and his credibility as a witness. Cohen admitted to lying to Congress previously but stated that he was now committed to telling the truth.
The hearing drew significant attention from the media and the public, with many people closely following Cohen's testimony. The proceedings are expected to have far-reaching implications for the ongoing investigations into President Trump's conduct.
As the hearing continues, both supporters and critics of President Trump are closely watching to see how Cohen's testimony will impact the political landscape in Washington.
