The line of questioning from Rep Katie Hill seems big: Cohen tells her that Trump called to ask him to say that Trump didn't know about the hush payments. He's saying Trump called him to coach him with the purpose of misleading the public.
Hill: What did the president ask or suggest that you say about the payments or reimbursements?
Cohen: He was not knowledgeable of these reimbursements and he wasn't knowledgeable of my actions.
Hill: He asked you to say that?
Cohen: Yes ma'am.
Cohen: He was not knowledgeable of these reimbursements and he wasn't knowledgeable of my actions.
Hill: He asked you to say that?
Cohen: Yes ma'am.
So to return to this video where Trump first denied knowledge of the hush payments in April 2018, we now know the denial came about eight months after Trump had personally signed a reimbursement check to Cohen and about just weeks after he called Cohen to coordinate messaging.
