President Trump said Wednesday that Michael Cohen is lying to get a reduced prison sentence, just hours before he was set to testify in a public hearing in the House.

“Michael Cohen was one of many lawyers who represented me (unfortunately),” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning. “He had other clients also.
