In his testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, former Trump “fixer” Michael Cohen testified that he was in then-candidate Trump’s office and heard a phone call between Roger Stone on speaker phone and Donald Trump. Cohen said he heard Stone tell the future president that he had spoken by phone with Julian Assange and that the Clinton email dump was coming. But Wikileaks and Roger Stone both say Cohen is lying.
Here’s the real truth: Everyone who was paying attention knew that Wikileaks was about to dump the Hillary emails because Julian Assange said so publicly on June 12, 2016. “Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, said on Sunday that the journalist organisation is planning to release upcoming leaks in relation to US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton,” ITV News reported.
The two principals who were involved in the phone call that Michael Cohen said proved that Trump knew that the Wikileaks dump was coming before it broke called Cohen a liar. I wonder what the sentence is for lying to Congress while waiting to serve a prison term for lying to Congress.
