Michael Cohen: Watch full testimony and hearing before Congress

Michael Cohen delivered a blistering account of his dealings as President Donald Trump's longtime attorney Wednesday, casting his former boss as "a conman" and "racist' while tying the White House more directly than ever to multiple investigations that have shadowed Trump's presidency.

Reading from a written statement to a House committee, Cohen asserted that Trump knew in advance that WikiLeaks planned to release stolen emails damaging to political rival Hillary Clinton; that he personally reimbursed Cohen for an illegal hush-money payment to a porn star; and that the president indirectly encouraged him to lie to Congress about his pursuit of a potentially lucrative Trump Tower development in Moscow, even as Trump repeatedly denied any business interests in Russia throughout the 2016 campaign.
