During public testimony on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, former Donald Trump “fixer” Michael Cohen will drop a bombshell on the alleged conspiracy during the 2016 campaign, Politico reports.
“I am ashamed because I know what Mr. Trump is. He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat,” Cohen will reportedly testify.
“He was a presidential candidate who knew that Roger Stone was talking with Julian Assange about a WikiLeaks drop of Democratic National Committee emails,” he will reportedly continue.
“In July 2016, days before the Democratic convention, I was in Mr. Trump’s office when his secretary announced that Roger Stone was on the phone. Mr. Trump put Mr. Stone on the speakerphone. Mr. Stone told Mr. Trump that he had just gotten off the phone with Julian Assange and that Mr. Assange told Mr. Stone that, within a couple of days, there would be a massive dump of emails that would damage Hillary Clinton’s campaign,” Cohen will reportedly testify.
“Mr. Trump responded by stating to the effect of ‘wouldn’t that be great,’” the reported testimony continues.
