Donald Trump's Ex-Fixer Michael Cohen to Testify to House Committee
-------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump's former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen said
Thursday he'll testify to a House committee next month about his work
for Donald Trump. Cohen has been sentenced to three years in prison for
tax evasion, bank fraud, campaign finance violations and lying to
Congress, after admitting he broke federal campaign finance laws by
paying hush money to two women during the 2016 presidential campaign "in
coordination with and at the direction" of President Trump. This comes
as The Washington Post reports the White House has added 17 new lawyers
to its legal team in recent weeks, as President Trump and his inner
circle brace for Robert Mueller to complete his investigation.
