EXCERPT:
CLOUD: “You have a history of lying for personal gain, including banks, about your account, to law enforcement, your family, the Congress, the American people. The southern district of New York -- you've said that you did this out of blind loyalty to Mr. Trump. But your sentencing memo said -- states this, 'This was not an act out of blind loyalty, as Cohen suggests. Cohen was driven by a desire to further ingratiate himself with a potential future president — for whose political success Cohen himself claimed credit for.' Now, we are in search for truth and I don’t know, chairman, how we’re supposed to ascertain the truth in this quagmire of a hearing when the best witness we can bring before this has already been convicted of lying before us. And what’s sad is the American people have seen this play out before. We have people in prominent positions fail and then a couple years later they get a book deal. Now, you’re set to go to -- to jail for a couple of years. If you come out with a multimillion book deal, that’s -- that's not bad living. And -- so my question is -- is will you today — will you today to commit to donate any further proceeds, the book deals to film reviews to charity.”
COHEN: “No.”
