Susan Glasser, staff writer at The New Yorker who writes the weekly online column, "Letter from Trump’s Washington," discusses the Michael Cohen hearings and the latest news out of Washington.
"I was actually just trying to do a count of how many claims that Michael Cohen made that the President lied and I haven’t finished the count because there are so many," says @sbg1.

"Their legal exposure here is significant. They are not the President. They are subject, potentially, to criminal prosecution.... Now we’re looking at a whole array of criminal examinations of the Trump family businesses," says @sbg1.
"Conservatives are in a bind here in general… President Trump is constantly forcing them in the awkward position of either choosing to defend or not some very dubious personal behavior," says @sbg1.
