Cohen, who will from May this year spend up to three years in jail for financial crimes and for previously lying to Congress, came to correct the record and he wasn’t holding back on his former boss.with whom he had an affair, and to lie to his wife about it, which I did. Lying to the First Lady is one of my biggest regrets. She is a kind, good person. I respect her greatly – and she did not deserve that.
But he did admit that he earlier lied about the then candidate’s business dealings with Russia, confirming that Trump directed negotiations for a real estate project in Moscow even while he was publicly denying any business dealing with Russia during the campaign, and this revelation about hacked email during the 2016 campaign.
Republican lawmakers continually tried to undermine Cohen’s credibility as a witness portraying him as an irredeemable liar who is tarnishing the President’s image only because he got caught out for his own crimes. Cohen was undeterred.
