Michael Cohen is now testifying.
Cohen now detailing the receipts he is providing to the committee
Cohen: "The last time I appeared before Congress, I came to protect Mr. Trump.
Today, I’m here to tell the truth about Mr. Trump."
Cohen on Stormy Daniels
As to why Cohen is going to jail because of the Stormy Daniels payments - here's the SDNY guilty plea info justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/m…
Cohen says he was reimbursed for the Stormy Daniels payments by both President Trump & Donald Trump Jr during 2017
When it comes to Russian collusion - Cohen says he has no evidence. But -
One reimbursement check Cohen provided as evidence was dated March 17, 2017, signed by Donald Trump Jr, and Allen Weisselberg CFO of the Trump Organization
A reminder - Cohen is going to prison for lying to Congress, and for illegal campaign actions directed by Individual 1 justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/m…
Cohen says he lied the last time before Congress to protect President Trump.

"I am not protecting Mr. Trump anymore"
If you had "liar, liar, pants on fire" on your bingo card, you win.

This FBI Twitter account has released information at odd times in recent years. Today, it's material on the Kushner Companies.
Before the 2016 elections, the FBI Vault released records that raised eyebrows. But the IG found no wrongdoing
The FBI Vault publishes FOIA requests - why today for this info about Jared Kushner's father is not clear

Here's the screenshot of the original tweet, in which Gaetz seemed to threaten to air dirty laundry about Cohen's marriage
Just a few minutes ago at the Cohen hearing, Del Stacey Plaskett D-VI said there should be an Ethics Committee investigation of Gaetz for witness intimidation

Right off the bat, Rep. Mark Meadows moves to postpone hearing
Rep. Elijah Cummings: "The testimony that Michael Cohen will provide today, ladies and gentlemen, is deeply disturbing. And it should be troubling to all Americans. We will all have to make our own evaluation of the evidence and Mr. Cohen’s credibility... But we must weigh it."
Rep. Jordan: "Here we go – here we go, your first big hearing, your first announced witness – Michael Cohen. I want everyone in this room to think about this. The first announced witness for the 116th Congress is a guy who is going to prison in two months for – lying to Congress"

Michael Cohen is about to testify before the House Oversight Committee. Follow along for a video thread.
LOL -- An angry @RepMarkMeadows begins by trying to do Trump's bidding by moving to postpone the hearing, because Cohen's testimony wasn't given to members early enough.
.@Jim_Jordan is out here pushing conspiracy theories about CNN before Cohen has even had a chance to say a single word

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
