It's not immediately clear if Cohen's testimony gave more ammo to Trump's Democratic opponents or his republican allies.
Michael Cohen's gripping congressional hearing fueled even more talk about Democrats' potential plans to pursue the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump.
Only Republicans brought up impeachment during the hearing itself — a telling omission from the Democrats' wide-ranging lines of inquiry that suggests a cautious approach to the politically volatile subject. "Isn't it interesting that not one person on our side even mentioned the word impeachment?" Cummings asked rhetorically."They did. But not us. So again, I am hoping that — well not hoping, I know this is not the end of a process but the beginning.""There's growing evidence that an impeachment pleading can be made but I think there's more that needs to be evaluated," Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., told reporters Wednesday.
Cohen, who has pleaded guilty to charges lodged by both federal prosecutors in Manhattan and Mueller's prosecutors, declined to disclose further details about the New York investigation.
