City Watch: Eyewitness Account: How Dems Out-Maneuver GOP at Cohen Hearings
Washington,
March 4, 2019
California was well represented on the Oversight Committee. In addition to Katie Hill and Ro Khanna (CA- 17), Jackie Speier (CA-14) also managed to score some points against the Republicans. Rounding out a solid showing for the Golden State, Speier specifically asked Cohen how many times he had threatened people on the President's behalf and suggested that fifty was the mark. Cohen astonishingly admitted that the figure was closer to 500 times over a ten-year period. Congressman Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) then homed in on Trump’s tax returns and asked Cohen if he believed that they were under audit. Cohen did not believe they were under audit. I expect the California delegation will continue to follow the scent with respect to facts and money.
