Democrats are expanding their investigation of potential criminal conduct by the president, saying Cohen laid out a "road map of criminality"
Former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe told „CBS This Morning“ on Friday he „wouldn’t dismiss Mr. [Michael] Cohen as a witness“ despite his credibility problems. In explosive testimony earlier this week before the House Oversight Committee, Cohen accused President Trump of committing several crimes and called him a „racist“ and a „conman.“ Cohen, the president’s former personal attorney, is already heading to prison for lying to Congress
„The thing I found fascinating by Michael Cohen’s statements was the amount of exactly that sort of corroborating information that he referred to and maybe revealed in his testimony. So there is a lot – there’s a lot there. I wouldn’t dismiss Mr. Cohen as a witness who would be, you know, unhelpful to any sort of prosecutorial efforts simply by virtue of his guilty plea in his case,“ McCabe said.
Democrats are expanding their investigation of potential criminal conduct by the president, saying Cohen laid out a „road map of criminality committed by the president.“
McCabe also addressed other headlines this week, including a startling New York Times report that suggests President Trump ignored advice from key advisers and insisted on granting Jared Kushner a top-secret security clearance.
Though McCabe made clear his knowledge of the situation is limited to The Times‘ reporting, he offered his perspective as someone who has been involved in high-level security clearance matters for many years.
