"You need to know that Mr. Trump’s personal lawyers reviewed and edited
my statement to Congress about the timing of the Moscow Tower
negotiations before I gave it."
"He once asked me if I could name a country run by a black person that
wasn’t a 'shithole.' This was when Barack Obama was President of the
United States."
Per Cohen's testimony about Trump stiffing contractors, here's just one example motherjones.com/politics/2016/…
Love the p.s. in Cohen's letter threatening Fordham U against releasing any of Trump's records
"...nothing went on in Trump world, especially the campaign, without Mr. Trump’s knowledge and approval."
"As of yesterday, I am no longer a lawyer. I lost my law license, among other things."
Jim Jordan raises Cohen's threat to Tim Mak: "So I'm warning you, tread very f***ing lightly because what I'm going to do to you is going to be f***ing disgusting." npr.org/2018/05/31/615…
Cohen on Roger Stone: "He frequently reached out to Mr. Trump and Mr. Trump was very happy to take his calls."
"Was there something odd about the back and forth praise with President Putin? Yes, but i'm not really sure that I can answer that question in regards to collusion... There's just so many dots that seem to lead to the same direction."
Odd answer from Cohen. He can't say how many times he's spoken to the special counsel's office since he was sentenced?
Rep. Maloney just totally whiffed on an opportunity to ask if there were other instances when Trump paid hush money to women.
"I was involved in several of these catch and kill episodes." Cohen says these deals also occurred long before he worked for Trump
Mark Meadows says he's spoken to Trump more than 300 times. That's about once every 2-3 days since Trump has been president.
Ivanka Trump says she knew "almost nothing" about the Trump Tower Moscow deal. Cohen testifies that he briefed Ivanka and Don Jr. "approximately 10" times
The Republicans aren't landing many punches, but the Democrats are squandering their time with bad questions. Here's a list of some of the things they should be asking motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
Based on his questions, I think Rep. Jamie Raskin read our story.
This is what happened after Katie Hill pointed out that Mark Meadows had wrongly accused Cohen of lying on his “truth in testimony” form finance.yahoo.com/news/republica…

NEW: Donald Trump has never explained a mysterious $50 million-plus loan. @russchoma spent months investigating and uncovered information suggesting this debt may be evidence of tax fraud. bit.ly/2k4QEXZ
@russchoma This is a complicated—but important!—story, so allow me to unpack it a bit in a short thread
@russchoma This loan, held by a Trump-owned LLC called Chicago Unit Acquisition, has puzzled reporters for years. Trump's financial disclosures note this loan is worth at least $50 million but also that CUA earns no revenue & is considered virtually worthless.

Huh? documentcloud.org/documents/6284…

NEW: A Chinese-American businessman marketed travel packages featuring access to Trump’s club and his clan: “Day Two, Visit Mar A Lago and attend a function attended by one or two Trump family members.” bit.ly/2Wqn4Kt
In marketing Mar-a-Lago access, Daniel Lou says he was trying to capitalize on his fundraising for Trump during the '16 campaign: “I wanted to develop a high-end business because of my political contributions and my involvement in 2016.”
The RNC has told Lou not to discuss his fundraising efforts, which included escorting 30 “Chinese Trump Supporters” to a Trump fundraising breakfast at Cipriani

NEW from me, @DavidCornDC and @dfriedman33: Meet “Prince Charles,” the Chinese mystery man who has emerged as a key figure in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago security debacle motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
Charles Lee (Li Weitian) ran a group called the United Nations Chinese Friendship Association that has ties to China’s United Front Work Department. That will be significant to counterintelligence investigators examining the Mar-a-Lago situation
The United Front Work Department oversees what is in effect a global influence operation (to dumb down what is a very complex system). This report gives a good overview of the United Front strategy uscc.gov/sites/default/…

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"

🌈 🦄 🍭 Live-tweeting Michael Cohen hearing here beginning at 10 a.m., today Feb. 27, 2019
Here we go. Chair @RepCummings gaveled in. Already the shouting begins. The ranking member Mark Meadows is angry that he did not see the written testimony or evidence 24-hours in advance.

1/
Meadows is screaming and saying the hearing cannot go forward. He said witness Michael Cohen held his statement and said "we should not stand for it."

Here is Michael Cohen’s opening statement in full: Chairman Cummings, Ranking Member Jordan, and Members of the Committee, thank you for inviting me here today. I have asked this Committee to ensure that my family be protected from Presidential threats
and that the Committee be sensitive to the questions pertaining to ongoing investigations. Thank you for your help and for your understanding. I am here under oath to correct the record, to answer the Committee’s questions truthfully
and to offer the American people what I know about President Trump. I recognize that some of you may doubt and attack me on my credibility. It is for this reason that I have incorporated into this opening statement documents that are irrefutable

From Michael Cohen's opening statement to the House Oversight Committee:

"He was a presidential candidate who knew that Roger Stone was talking with Julian Assange about a WikiLeaks drop of Democratic National Committee emails."
"I am providing the Committee today with several documents. These
include:

Copies of letters I wrote at Mr. Trump’s direction that threatened
his high school, colleges, and the College Board not to release his
grades or SAT scores."
"There were at least a half-dozen times between the Iowa Caucus in
January 2016 and the end of June when he would ask me “How’s it going in Russia?” – referring to the Moscow Tower project."

hush money payments I made to cover up his affair with an adult
film star and prevent damage to his campaign;
• Copies of financial statements for 2011 – 2013 that he gave to
such institutions as Deutsche Bank;

From @nytimes, here are @MichaelCohen212's prepared remarks for tomorrow. And there are some significant allegations of crimes, perhaps including suborning perjury. H/t @benjaminwittes Boom. 1/

operates. In conversations we had during the campaign, at the same time I was
actively negotiating in Russia for him, he would look me in the eye and tell
me there’s no business in Russia..."
3/ "...and then go out and lie to the American people by saying the same thing. In his way, he was telling me to lie."

in Russia?”...
