Michael Cohen Will Publicly Testify Before Congress

HeadlineFeb 21, 2019

Former Trump attorney and fixer Michael Cohen has agreed to testify about his work for Donald Trump before Congress next Wednesday in an open hearing. The news came as Cohen’s upcoming prison term was pushed back by two months after he requested time to recover from a surgical procedure. Cohen was sentenced to three years for tax evasion, bank fraud, campaign finance violations and lying to Congress, after admitting he broke federal campaign finance laws by paying hush money to two women during the 2016 presidential campaign. He will begin his sentence in May.
