CNN's law and crime reporter Shimon Prokupecz called Michael Cohen's released testimony "devastating," for President Donald Trump.
One of the main points is a call that Cohen overheard between Trump and Roger Stone, knowing about Wikileaks and their involvement in Trump's campaign.
However, there is significantly more, including the documents many have suspected Cohen would bring. He also explains that Trump was involved in Cohen's previous testimony to Congress, where he openly lied.
"Mr. Trump did not directly tell me to lie to Congress. That’s not how he operates," Cohen says in the statement. "In conversations, we had during the campaign, at the same time I was actively negotiating in Russia for him, he would look me in the eye and tell five me there’s no business in Russia and then go out and lie to the American people by saying the same thing. In his way, he was telling me to lie."
Cohen also said that Trump told him to pay off Stormy Daniels, and one of the things he regrets is lying to the first lady. He called her a "kind person" who "did not deserve that."
"I am giving the committee today a copy of the $130,000 wire transfer from me to Ms. Clifford's attorney during the closing days of the presidential campaign that was demanded by Ms. Clifford to maintain her silence about her affair with Mr. Trump. This is exhibit 4 in my testimony," the testimony says.
According to Don Lemon's panel, the exhibits show all of the receipts.
"Yeah. So this is going to be devastating," Prokupecz said.
