Donald Trump’s longtime personal attorney, Michael Cohen, is scheduled to publicly testify Wednesday, Feb. 27 before the House Oversight Committee, in what is anticipated to be explosive testimony about the Trump Organization’s finances and Donald Trump’s behind-the-scenes behavior, including his propensity for lying, cheating, and racism.

Stay tuned for updates.
