think about. graph is here with three answers. good to see you. request one. what do the documents mean for the his credibility. specifically not the checks. those are what they are. the thing speaks for itself. in terms of the doctored congressional testimony. what do we know? i know that what we re beginning to see is just what a troef of documents michael cohen has. prosecutor seized 292,000 documents. when they raided his office last april. we have seen publicly a dozen maybe 20. total. there s a lot more here and there s a lot more for investigators to sink their teeth into. what we re beginning to see is now that he s sort of flipped the script and cooperating.
attack me. as a result it just built-up the audience for the testimony. 85 million people ended up tuning in, and i m sure that hurt the president more than helped him. john dean, pleasure. thank you, sir. thank you, don. let s bring in shimon prokupecz and ryan lizza. he knows. good evening. he knows. he was there. what do you think of what was said? i mean he s the person we all want to hear from tonight absent cohen himself because there has never been since john dean s testimony in the nixon era, there has never been someone as close to, with such intimate knowledge of a president who is going before congress and testifying in an adversarial way, didn t happen with clinton, didn t happen with obama, george h.w. bush, reagan, nothing like this. most people don t have fixers, right? if you have a fixer you re involved in that means something s
title? cohen will probably be asked about that tomorrow. joining me now is michael d antonio, the author of the truth about trump. and garret graff is here. gentlemen, i m so glad to have you on this evening. how much does michael cohen really know about president trump? well, actually to quote donald trump, he knows everything. that s what the president then businessman donald trump told me. he said bring your questions to michael cohen. he s got all the answers. so this explains why the president will be staying up late to watch michael cohen s testimony, explains why this is really his worst nightmare to have a person who was present for ten years inside every real estate deal, inside every endorsement arrangement he made,
he wasn t part of the campaign formally. he didn t go into the administration, so i think they probably will try to ask about it a little bit, but it s not exactly clear what cohen will know. that s a bit of a fishing expedition. we already know specifically about the hush money payments and false testimony. the inaugural, i would take a shot there and see what he knows and if he could give us any information about potentially information from foreign nationals. i think tomorrow will be targeted and sort of fact finding. good advice, don t grandstand, let him speak and craft your questions carefully, right? thank you both, i appreciate it. we re only hours away from michael cohen s public testimony before the house oversight committee. we re going to ask a member of that committee what he expects to hear from cohen. what do you look for when you trade?
none of them wanted that independent council. this is how we re supposed to investigate. i m fine with that and in truth if the president hasn t done what he did with komcomey probably wouldn t have had it. by far the worst mistake of his presidency. here s the problem, cohen is an admitted liar. you have people say he s been credible. today some people dribbled out some positive things. so you have him though an admitted liar and a president that s a habitual liar on the same points. who do you believe? that s why michael cohen s testimony must be backed up with documentation and fallcts. i believe there s more tapes that michael cohen has. we only have those tapes because those are the tapes he decided to leak with us. we don t know if he has more conversations that were recorded between himself and president trump but himself and other folks.
