Michael Cohen provided marathon testimony in front of the House Oversight and Reform Committee today and Republicans argued that he lied. Again. The House Oversight Committee’s ranking member Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, ended with a statement outlining what he saw as new falsehoods.
Cohen pleaded guilty to making false statements to Congress in Nov. 2018 after lying to Congress about the timing of the proposed Trump Tower in Moscow. In his closing statement, Jordan said, “We know Mr. Cohen has been dishonest in the past … that’s why he’s going to prison in two months.” And then he laid out what he saw as Cohen’s numerous lies in front of Congress today.
