Democrats on the committee told Newsweek they’re also eager to hear from Trump Organization executive Allen Weisselberg following Michael Cohen's testimony.
In the wake of Michael Cohen’s congressional testimony, Democrats are eager to hear from some of the president’s adult children and a Trump Organization executive who the former Trump attorney and"fixer" said could corroborate and provide additional information about his claims of the president’s criminal wrongdoing.
Democrats on the committee told Newsweek they’re especially eager to hear from Trump, Jr. and Weisselberg, whose signatures appeared on Trump's personal reimbursement checks to Cohen that were provided to the committee as evidence. Cohen said the checks were two of 11 repayments for him fronting a $130,000 hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels over an alleged affair with Trump.
Weisselberg received immunity to cooperate with prosecutors regarding Cohen’s case last year, which resulted in the former lawyer pleading guilty to campaign finance violations, lying to Congress and tax and bank fraud. The evidence and testimony from Cohen was the first time publicly that the president’s eldest son and the Trump executive were implicated in criminal wrongdoing. Through Cohen's criminal case, Trump had already been implicated.
Cohen also said Weisselberg was one of several Trump associates who could substantiate his allegations that Trump inflated his assets to Deutsche Bank in order to obtain a loan and bid on the Buffalo Bills. Copies of some of Trump's financial records were submitted as evidence by Cohen, which he said showed Trump"inflated his total assets when it served his purposes."
