Trump campaign takes aim at Michael Cohen hearing: ‘Worthless’ testimony from a ‘convicted perjurer’

Published



The Trump campaign dismissed Michael Cohen’s testimony before the House Oversight and Reform Committee as “worthless” and questioned why he was even sworn in since he has previously admitted to lying to Congress.

“Michael Cohen is a felon, a disbarred lawyer, and a convicted perjurer, who lied to both Congress and the Special Counsel in a ‘deliberate and premeditated’ fashion according to the Special Counsel’s Office,” Kayleigh McEnany, the Trump campaign’s national press secretary, said in a statement Wednesday afternoon. “Now he offers what he says is evidence, but the only support for that is his own testimony, which has proven before to be worthless.”
