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.

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.
