Study Guide: Michael Cohen Hearing | PBS NewsHour

Directions: Read the summary, watch the videos and answer the discussion questions. 

Summary: The testimony of former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen in front of the House Oversight Committee produced a wide array of public opinion. NewsHour Correspondents Lisa Desjardins, who attended the hearing, and Yamiche Alcindor join Judy Woodruff to discuss the key takeaways, including House Republican and White House attacks on Cohen as not trustworthy and Cohen’s argument that Trump ran for president solely to enrich himself. Cohen admitted that he lied to a Senate Intelligence Committee in 2017, and apologized to the House committee. Cohen will testify in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee behind closed doors in three days of hearings.
