During the opening of the second summit between the two leaders in Vietnam’s capital, Hanoi, reporters ask Mr Trump about the testimony in Congress of his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen.
Ruling that Andrew Miller must comply with a subpoena, an appeals court upholds the legitimacy of Robert Mueller’s appointment as special counsel.
In Israel, Rabbi Benny Lau of Jerusalem, a leading voice of religious Zionism, repeatedly assailed the merger, likening Kahanism to Nazism, and nearly 90 modern Orthodox rabbis and educators, including prominent names in the religious Zionist community, denounced the deal as giving “a black eye to Israel and its standing in the world as a moral and democratic state.” Potentially more damaging to Israel, the pact between Mr. Netanyahu and the Kahanists was criticized in the United States not only but also by liberal Jewish organizations, but by some whose strong support of Israel rarely includes any public intervention in its boisterous politics. The influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee — Aipac — which almost never publicly criticizes Israel, endorsed a statement by the American Jewish Committee that called Otzma Yehudit’s views “reprehensible,” and added that “they do not reflect the core values that are the very foundation of the state of Israel.”

WASHINGTON – One of President Donald Trump’s fiercest allies in the House of Representatives posted a tweet Tuesday that many are calling a direct threat to Michael Cohen ahead of his public testimony before Congress on Wednesday.
Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz posted on Twitter that Cohen’s wife was “about to learn a lot” about him and accused the former Trump attorney and fixer of being unfaithful in his marriage.
“Hey @MichaelCohen212 – Do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends?” Gaetz wrote on Twitter. “Maybe tonight would be a good time for that chat. I wonder if she’ll remain faithful when you’re in prison. She’s about to learn a lot…”
Cohen spent Tuesday behind closed doors testifying to the Senate Intelligence Committee. He will appear before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Wednesday in a public appearance that’s expected to revolve around the president’s alleged infidelities, businesses and finances.
When asked by reporters on Capitol Hill about the tweet, Gaetz denied that the post was a threat or attempt to intimidate Cohen.
“This isn’t witness tampering, it’s witness testing,” he told reporters outside his office. “When people like Michael Cohen, who’s about to go to prison for lying, come before the Congress, there’s an enhanced responsibility on the part of members of Congress to test that veracity, to test the truthfulness and character of the witness, and I think we ought to do it with great vigor.” .
Gaetz did not elaborate on his allegations that Cohen had an affair, which hasn’t been previously reported, or where he obtained this information, only saying that reporters should tune in during Wednesday’s hearing.
“I also trust that his constituents will not appreciate that their congressman has set a new low — which in today’s political culture is hard to imagine as possible,” Davis added.
Those on Twitter, including members of Congress, reacted quickly, many pointing that the comments could be seen as intimidating a witness and witness tampering.
Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-New Jersey, said the tweet warranted an investigation by the House Ethics Committee.
“One of my colleagues, a duly elected member of Congress, has taken to twitter to intimidate a witness,” Pascrell, Jr. wrote. “This is grossly unethical and probably illegal (18 USC § 1512(b)). House Ethics must investigate this disgrace and stain on our institution.”
The statute Pascrell, Jr. noted in his tweet is the law that states intimidating a witness is illegal.
Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware, said Gaetz’s tweet seemed like something “out of a Mob novel” not from a member of Congress.
“That’s the sort of behavior that’s sadly become normalized in the last two years,” Coons told CNN. “I think that would previously be considered absolutely shocking for a congressman to publicly engage in sort of badgering a witness in advance of their appearing.”
Best run down in town!
President Trump’s administration has long been caught in a carousel of rotating congressional testimonies, and on Wednesday, it will finally be Michael Cohen’s turn to publicly take a spin.
Trump’s former personal attorney will speak before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, Feb. 27, about “the President’s debts and payments relating to efforts to influence the 2016 election,” Trump’s “compliance with” financial disclosure requirements, campaign finance laws, and tax laws, as well as Trump’s “potential conflicts of interests” and “business practices.”
It’s been a long time coming.
Cohen’s relationship with Trump goes back more than a decade, but reached a turning point when Cohen pleaded guilty in August to violating campaign-finance laws (among other crimes), and again in November to lying to Congress. He was sentenced to three years in prison for his misdeeds, saying at the time that “I have been living in a personal and mental incarceration ever since the fateful day that I accepted the offer to work for a famous real estate mogul whose business acumen I truly admired.”
That was something new from the man who once claimed he would “take a bullet” for his boss.
Now, Cohen is reportedly ready to share who reimbursed him for his hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels, and to explicitly accuse Trump of criminal activity while in office.
Cohen’s testimony on Wednesday may very well change the trajectory of Trump’s presidency. Here’s how to watch it in real-time:
Michael Cohen will testify publicly before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, February 27, 2019, beginning at 10 a.m. ET.
