JTN:
A pair of senior House Republicans on Tuesday urged Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate former Trump attorney Michael Cohen after he testified in New York court that he lied to Congress about his work for the former president.
Writing to Garland, House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Michael Turner asserted that Cohen’s recent testimony in the ongoing civil fraud trial brought against Trump by New York Attorney General Letitia James suggested that Cohen committed perjury during a 2019 deposition before the committee.
“Mr. Cohen admitted that the testimony he gave before the Committee in 2019 was knowingly and intentionally false,” they wrote, in a letter first obtained by NBC News. “Congress cannot perform its oversight function if witnesses who appear before its committees do not provide truthful testimony. Perjury and false statements before Congress are crimes that undermine the integrity of the Constitutional duty to conduct oversight and inquiries.”
The letter then cited Cohen’s statement before the committee in which he stated “Did he ask me to inflate the numbers? Not that I recall, no.” James has alleged that Trump manipulated the value of his assets to obtain favorable loan terms and lower insurance premiums. Cohen, during his October 2023 testimony explicitly stated that he lied under oath during the 2019 deposition. more
Another Liar? Yawn…
“Attorney General Merrick Garland”
Stop right there. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.
Sternly worded letter, what a bunch of sh!t.
Remember when they wanted him to run for president? Because he was so virtuous? Ugh.
The RINO Strategy: Make it look as if you are a Republican by invoking what a Republican would do to further the cause. All the time knowing that it is doomed to fail.
I’M 100% TRUMP BUT HE COULD USE SOME HELP WITH PREVENTING THE SURROUNDING HIMSELF WITH LYING, DEFENERATE BACKSTABBING ASSHOLES, OR IT’LL BE “DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN”
Aggreed BENITO – Trump pretty much has to kill it with fire ing everyone currently in government!
^^^^ Yea his ex lawyer, Ty Cobb, that big pussy, is all over the libtard press today guaranteeing Trumps going to jail and staying there for insighting violence.
When a proven liar says he’s lying, how are you supposed to believe him?
Gosh. We need to investigate whether a man convicted of perjury is a liar?
How about we have a criminal probe of congress for lying about everything.
How about we just have the States vote to shut the mutha-fukahs down?
