Michael Cohen: key takeaways from the former Trump lawyer's testimony

Michael Cohen told the committee he had been with Donald Trump when key events in the investigation into Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election were discussed. The first incident, in early June 2016, involved Cohen overhearing Trump’s son, Donald Jr, whispering in the elder Trump’s ear that “the meeting is all set”. Cohen said he took that remark, and Trump’s reply to it – “OK good … let me know” – to refer to the Trump Tower meeting that followed between Donald Jr and others in the inner Trump circle and a party of Russians peddling dirt on Hillary Clinton.
