Michael Cohen seriously doubts his old boss, former President Donald Trump, will agree to testify before the Jan. 6 committee.
Trump's former lawyer laughed when CNN's Jim Acosta asked him on Saturday if Trump"has the guts" to appear before the panel after its members unanimously voted to subpoena him for documents and testimony."The answer to that is absolutely not," Cohen said."He’s not coming in. He will play the song that we’ve all heard over and over and over again. 'I want to do it. I’m going to get it done. I’m going to sit for it. I have nothing to fear. I’m innocent.
Cohen argued that what Trump will do is use the subpoena to solicit donations through fundraising emails."This is all part of the great economic grift that is the legacy of the Trump administration," Cohen said. Trump responded to the Jan. 6 committee's vote to approve a subpoena with a 14-page statement on Friday. He denounced the panel as being made up of “highly partisan political Hacks and Thugs” and criticized Congress for funding the investigation into the Capitol riot despite it being what he calls a “Charade and Witch Hunt," but the former president did not directly say whether he intends to cooperate with the subpoena.
Cohen's 2019 testimony before Congress, asserting that the Trump Organization routinely manipulated its asset valuations for business and tax benefits, has fueled investigations into Trump's business empire that stretch into this day.
