House Democrats are hoping to be able to persuade disgraced former attorney Michael Cohen to appear as their star witness during President Joe Biden’s impeachment inquiry hearing next week.
Cohen was the former lawyer of President Donald Trump who was jailed for fraud and lying to Congress.
He has since tried to fabricate stories about Trump in an effort to get his own charges dropped.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is leading an impeachment inquiry into Biden.
The calls for impeachment are over allegations that Biden used his position as vice president to enrich himself and his family.
Despite mounting evidence against the Bidens, the president and the White House have continued to deny the accusations.
The next hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
However, House Democrats on the Oversight Committee are hoping that an appearance from Cohen could turn the spotlight at the highly-publicized event onto Trump.
By bringing in Cohen, Democrats want to turn Biden’s impeachment hearing into a get-Trump circus for the public.
A source reportedly told Fox News that Democrats “believe Cohen could help focus the hearing on Donald Trump by delivering first-hand testimony on Trump’s foreign business deals while he was president.”
