Trump lawyer Giuliani, in message to NBCNews, praises Rep. Jordan's questioning of Michael Cohen.
"Take a step back: we just saw something totally extraordinary," MSNBC's chief legal correspondent, Ari Melber, said in reaction to Wednesday's testimony.
Cohen brought up Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg several times when discussing the hush-money payments Cohen made to women who claim past affairs with Trump — affairs the president has repeatedly denied. Democratic Rep. Stacey Plaskett, the delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands, used the top of her time to take aim at the GOP's argument that Cohen’s testimony was a waste of the country's time.
A significant moment came when Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., asked Cohen if prosecutors are looking into other illegal acts by the president that have not been made public. "Our colleagues aren't upset because you lied to Congress for the president," Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said."They're upset because you've stopped lying to Congress for the president."
Cohen said he didn't understand the attacks — Trump has suggested investigators look into Cohen's relatives, including Shusterman — for criminal activity the president has alleged. Shusterman, Cohen said, was a great guy who had a lot of money invested in Trump properties. You spoke about how the president and his attorney put you and your family in danger by calling you a liar and a rat and disparaging you in public. I understand your fear, Michael. I have a family too. Do you believe now that when you and the president called me a liar, when you were his attorney and you insulted me, threatened to bankrupt me and worse, that you put me and my family in danger? I remember the fear you feel. I still feel it.
