LIVE: NBCNews Special Report: Michael Cohen to testify before Congress.
With Cohen's prepared testimony offering new claims on Trump and WikiLeaks, here's a flashback to the president saying"WikiLeaks" more than 140 times in the final weeks leading up to the 2016 election.
According to his prepared statement, Cohen is providing"a copy of a check Mr. Trump wrote from his personal bank account – after he became president - to reimburse [Cohen] for the hush money payments [Cohen] made to cover up his affair with an adult film star and prevent damage to his campaign." While there's an argument that pre-office activity is not impeachable, the framers of the U.S.
MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber gives his legal perspective going into the hearing. With the documentation Cohen plans to provide Congress, Melber said, the hearing's end result"will not just be a 'he said, he said.'" Melber also addressed a controversial tweet from Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fl., Tuesday night targeting Cohen that some said amounted to witness tampering.
Cohen, according to his prepared remarks, will provide the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform with a pair of $35,000 checks he received in 2017 that he says were reimbursements for the $130,000 hush money payment he made to porn star Stormy Daniels weeks before the 2016 election. The payment was made to keep Daniels silent about her allegation of a 2006 affair with Trump, an affair the White House has vehemently denied.
