Michael Cohen Live Stream: Watch President Trump's Ex-Lawyer Provide Testimony About Possible Scandals
Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer and "fixer," will provide public testimony before the House Oversight Committee at 10:00 a.m ET on Wednesday, and is expected to make statements that the president engaged in criminal activity while in office.
Reports have already surfaced that Cohen will tell the committee that Trump knew that his former political adviser Roger Stone was in contact with WikiLeaks.
Cohen may also reveal details that Trump was aware of the $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Cohen reportedly can also provide documents, as well as the two reimbursement checks.
"I was in Mr. Trump’s office when his secretary announced that Roger Stone was on the phone," Cohen plans to say, according to NBC News. "Mr. Trump put Mr. Stone on the speakerphone. Mr. Stone told Mr. Trump that he had just gotten off the phone with [WikiLeaks founder] Julian Assange and that Mr. Assange told Mr. Stone that, within a couple of days, there would be a massive dump of emails that would damage Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Mr. Trump responded by stating to the effect of 'wouldn’t that be great.'"
Cohen's hearing can be live-streamed on C-SPAN and can also be viewed on the House Oversight Committee's website.
It can also be seen on the major networks, including CNN, MSNBC and Fox News.
Cohen, 52, was sentenced in December to three years in federal prison on nine charges, which included campaign-finance violations related to hush-money payments to women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump.
Cohen was scheduled to go to prison on March 6 but a federal judge on Feb. 20 granted him an extension until May 6.
