Should be can't miss TV. Trump will be watching in his bloomers and curlers from Hanoi:
According to the New York Times during his testimony before the House Oversight Committee, Cohen will accuse Trump of committing crimes during his presidency in connection with the hush payments and he says he has the receipts to back it up:
Mr. Cohen will describe in what was called "granular detail" the plan to pay Ms. Daniels, which he will say was initiated by Mr. Trump, the person familiar with the testimony plans said. Mr. Cohen has pleaded guilty to a federal campaign finance-related charge in connection with that payment. Prosecutors have implicated Mr. Trump, identifying him as "Individual 1," in connection with that charge in documents filed in the case...
While the payment to Daniels was made during the presidential campaign, Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has said Cohen was reimbursed for it during a period of time extending into Trump's presidency through a $35,000-a-month retainer agreement.
Cohen "is planning to bring documents that will illustrate his claims" about Trump's alleged criminal conduct, according to the Times.
What Cohen might say about the Trump Organization
Russia won't be a subject of Wednesday's hearing, but according to the Times, Cohen who worked for Trump for more than a decade does plan to tell the Oversight Committee about exactly how deep into the presidential campaign Trump continued to discuss a possible Trump Tower Moscow real estate deal.
Trump Tower Moscow, and Michael Cohen's lies about it, explained
During his closed-door 2017 testimony to Congress, Cohen said that discussions for Trump Tower Moscow ended in January 2016. But Mueller's team ultimately determined that those talks continued until at least June 2016, which resulted in Cohen pleading guilty to perjury. Giuliani has since suggested that the talks may have extended all the way until November 2016 until the very end of a campaign in which Trump raised eyebrows by repeatedly praising Putin and pushing for a normalization of US-Russia relations.
Beyond Trump Tower Moscow, the Wall Street Journal reports that Cohen "also will make public some of Mr. Trump's private financial statements and allege that Mr. Trump at times inflated or deflated his net worth for business and personal purposes, including avoiding paying property taxes."
Cohen's statements could be corroborated by Trump's tax returns, so Cohen's testimony will be useful for House Democrats seeking to develop a blueprint about how best to go about compelling Trump to turn them over.
Beyond Trump's shady financial dealings, Cohen also reportedly plans to testify about racist comments he heard Trump make while he was working for him. In a November interview with Vanity Fair, Cohen recalled hearing Trump say things like, "black people are too stupid to vote for me," and, "name one country run by a black person that's not a ****hole."
