Cohen: ‘I’m going to let the American people decide exactly who’s telling the truth’

President Trump’s former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen on Tuesday said that he will let “the American people decide exactly who’s telling the truth” ahead of his widely anticipated public hearing before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.

“I really appreciate the opportunity that was given to me to clear the record and to tell the truth,” Cohen told reporters after his hours-long private testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

“And I look forward to tomorrow, to being able to use my voice to tell the American people my story,” he continued. “And I’m going to let the American people decide exactly who’s telling the truth.”
