WFB: A CNN panel said Michael Cohen made a false claim Wednesday when he said he never wanted a job in the Trump White House during his testimony before the House Oversight Committee.
“The one potential problem that I thought Michael Cohen has is when he was asked if he wanted a job in the White House, and he said no,” correspondent Dana Bash said. “Our reporting, I know, Pam, you have been told and I have been told, all of us, by people in and around the process real time, he very much wanted a job in the White House.”
Host Jake Tapper played the clip in which Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) pressed Cohen about his desire to work in the White House.
“How long did you work in the White House?” Jordan asked.
“I never worked in the White House,” Cohen responded.
“That’s the point, isn’t it, Mr. Cohen? … You wanted to work in the White House, but you didn’t get brought to the dance,” Jordan continued.
Cohen denied Jordan’s claims and insisted he was “extremely proud to be personal attorney to the president of the United States of America.”
“I did not want to go to the White House. I was offered jobs. I can tell you a story of Mr. Trump reaming out Reince Priebus because I had not taken a job where Mr. Trump wanted me to, which was working with Don McGahn at the White House general counsel,” Cohen added.”
I think the issue there is that one sentence: ‘I did not want to go to the White House.’ All of our reporting suggests that’s not true,” Tapper said.
Careful, Tapper. You’re just mad because you had all your hopes pinned on this clownfart, and he let you down hard. But you can’t destroy him just yet. The SDNY still needs to use him as they segue into phase II of the witch hunt.
what about his claim, just before the 12:00 break, that he was responsible for starting the Trump presidential campaign??
no one has picked up on this (potential) bit of lunacy that could nullify his entire “testimony”
A known admitted liar tells a lie.
Surprise, surprise, surprise!
