Initially cohen told congress the discussions about the project ended in january of 2016 when in fact, those discussions continued for months, including during the election campaign. Cohens latest testimony is that jay sekulow, one of the president s lawyers knew that the january 2016 date was false. Cohen makes a lot of explosive allegations in these hundreds of pages of testimony, but he doesnt offer much in the way of proof to back up those allegations. Its cohens word against those hes accusing. Dave, christine . Evan, thank you.

With it, whether we see Severe Weather or not remains to be seen. What will occur is tremendous rainfall on top of saturated soil.
