Claims and evidence
- factdocumented
Before the House Oversight Committee, Cohen produced reimbursement checks and described years of work protecting Trump, while acknowledging his own convictions and prior lies. He alleged additional Trump misconduct and called his loyalty misplaced. Those additional allegations remain attributed testimony unless independently adjudicated; the hearing itself establishes the public relationship break and documentary production.
