Nielsen Estimates About 16 Million Viewers Watched Michael Cohen

by Associated Press

   NEW YORK --

   An estimated 15.8 million viewers watched President Trump's former
   lawyer, Michael Cohen, testify against his boss to a congressional
   committee

   The Nielsen company says that 15.8 million people watched President
   Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, testify against him on
   television before a congressional committee.

   Nielsen estimated the viewership on eight different networks between
   9:45 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Wednesday.

   The number contrasts with the 20.4 million who watched the daytime
   testimony of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh before a Senate
   committee last September.

   By a narrow margin, CBS was the most-watched network for the bulk of
   the testimony, followed by ABC and MSNBC.
