Will Michael Cohen’s Explosive Allegations Matter?

Susan Page: “Exactly what could overshadow a nuclear summit between a U.S. president and a North Korean despot?”

“House oversight hearings on Capitol Hill managed to cross that high bar Wednesday with testimony from Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former fixer, detailing what he described as bank fraud, hush money payments, racist chatter, perjury and more by his one-time boss. His explosive 30-minute opening statement was followed by hours of sometimes-combative exchanges over Trump’s conduct and Cohen’s credibility.”

“That said, it’s not clear whether the litany of lies and unsavory behavior – some of it criminal, if true – will significantly sway voters’ attitudes toward Trump, including whether he deserves to be impeached now, say, or re-elected next year.”

“Because up until now, nothing has.”
