House Oversight seeks interviews with Trump's children after Cohen testimony

Source: Politico

The House Oversight Committee will pursue interviews with some of President Donald Trump's children and closest allies who were implicated in Michael Cohen’s bombshell testimony before the panel, Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said on Thursday.

“All you have to do is follow the transcript. If there are names that were mentioned or records that were mentioned during the hearing, we want to take a look at all of that,” Cummings told reporters.

In his nearly six-hour appearance before the key House panel investigating the president and his business dealings, Cohen name-dropped several of Trump’s closest confidants and associates, including some of his adult children. Almost immediately after Wednesday’s hearing, Democrats said they were particularly interested in speaking with Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump. They were also interested in speaking with Allen Weisselberg, the longtime chief financial officer of the Trump Organization.

“They have a good chance of hearing from us — at least an interview,” Cummings added. “We’ll go through it, we’ll figure out who we want to talk to, and we’ll bring them in.”

to see how they will respond, like good little weasely republican traitors*

* spawn of the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief


Trump's sons 'are secretly called 'Uday and Qusay' after Saddam Hussein's monstrous offspring by workers inside the family firm'

"The backbiting catalogued in 'Fire and Fury' extends beyond the White House to Don Jr. and Eric Trump, who according to the book got a nickname from Iraqi bloodthirsty tyrants.

"Author Michael Wolff mentions Don Jr. and Eric, stating early in his tome that 'behind their backs known to Trump insiders as Uday and Qusay.'..."

It's one thing for those of us outside the KKKult to refer to them as Uday and Qusay, but quite another for dumpster insiders to call them that.

Quite telling.

If the spawn know how Saddam's sons ended up, prison won't look so bad.

immunity to all activities.

He may be subject to the same prosecutions as other members of these organizations if the questioning needs to go beyond the original immunity agreement.

the committee can interview him but that he doesn't have immunity with them so what he is asked and his answers may not be severely limited. Damn!

His involvement in the hush money payments were the focus of the investigation, and he was implicated by Cohen on the tape recording. He was involved in many other crimes, including the insurance/bank fraud issues Cohen discussed in the Hearing yesterday. He is definitely one to be squeezed at this point for further inside information about the Trump Organization. He can try to invoke the 5th, but that only means the sentencing he faces down the road will be towards the maximum. Another old Trump stooge that can rot in prison until he dies....unless he cooperates fully.

Ivanka would enjoy 50 shades of gray - too bad. She's going to get what everyone else wears. And it won't smell nice.
