The congressional testimony of President Donald Trump’s ex-lawyer Michael Cohen is already set to be one of the most highly anticipated moments of the new Democratic-controlled House, but those expecting significant public insights into the Russia investigation could be disappointed.
Cohen is not expected to answer questions about any topics related to that investigation when he appears before the House Oversight Committee next month because special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is ongoing. He consulted with the special counsel before agreeing to appear at the hearing, two sources told CNN.
That doesn’t mean Cohen’s testimony won’t have dramatic reveals.
Cohen is prepared to discuss topics related to hush money payments and aspects of the Trump Organization, including the roles of the President and his children, according to a source familiar with the matter.
