\nWednesday, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) weighed in on Michael Cohen\u2019s hush money payments to women for President Donald Trump, calling Trump a \u201clying,\u201d \u201cweak president\u201d for acknowledging payments now that he denied earlier in the year.
\u201c[T]he people actually have already revolted. They revolted about a month ago when they sent 40 new members of Congress to put a balance of power on all of these abuses of power. But also let\u2019s go back to April 5 when the president was aboard Air Force One and said he had no knowledge of any of these payments. And so now here we are, he\u2019s acknowledging the payments,\u201d said in an appearance on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cMorning Joe.\u201d
He continued, \u201cLook, he is a lying president, and a lying president is a weak president, and I don\u2019t think we should hang our hats on these payoffs to Stormy Daniels and others, but I think they show that he is a shadowy operator and it\u2019s probably more important to look at how he has conducted himself as it relates to Russia, the Saudis and Chinese, because I think if he was willing to work in such a shadowy way to pay off a few women who were making these allegations he is probably working that way in much bigger issues.\u201d
