Lawmaker Predicts Indictments for Trump Jr. and Kushner

July 30, 2018 · 4:15 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) predicted on CNN interview that Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner will both be indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Said Cohen: “I think they’re getting closer to knowing that the truth is going to come out that there was activities with the Trump campaign and Russia in releasing those hacks and guiding them to the states and the localities where they came from.”

He addded: “Some of that was Jared Kushner’s responsibilities, some of it was Donald Jr. I think you’re probably going to see indictments of both of those people.”

Lawmaker Denies He Wants Moat Around White House

November 20, 2014 · 1:48 pm ET · 17 Comments

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) told NBC News he “pitched his idea of a new water barrier at the White House to the head of the Secret Service during a closed door meeting on Wednesday. But he never meant to advocate for an actual moat, even though he brought up the idea during a House Judiciary Committee hearing earlier that day.”

“Cohen says he later looked up the definition of moat and realized that it is defined as a water barrier that completely surrounds a protected structure. His idea… would be different. Cohen says he proposed a deep pool or trough that could be installed behind the Pennsylvania Avenue fence line and perhaps a fountain could be added to make it more attractive to the general public.”
