Attempting to discredit Cohen’s testimony, Rep. Mark Meadows accused him of lying on a form he filled out in preparation for his appearance — but Meadows’s questions appeared to be based on a misreading of the congressional Truth in Testimony form
Attempting to discredit Michael Cohen’s testimony to the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Mark Meadows accused him of lying on a form he filled out in preparation for his appearance Wednesday.
Meadows, a Republican from North Carolina, attempted to prove that Cohen, President Trump’s former attorney, had perjured himself by omitting from the form work he had done with foreign businesses while working for Trump. Meadows brought it up earlier in the hearing and again when time was yielded to him.
But Meadows’s attack was apparently based on a misreading of the Truth in Testimony form, which reads in part,"If you are a non-governmental witness, please list any contracts or payments originating with a foreign government and related to the hearing's subject matter that you or the organization you represent at this hearing received in the current year and previous two calendar years.
