Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga., a member of the House Oversight Committee, says Michael Cohen’s appearance before the panel amounted to a “nothing burger.”
Hice made his comments during a Thursday interview on Hill.TV.
"There was nothing new that came to the table…,” he said. “We were told at the last minute that there were going to be some significant issues and I just don't think that happened at all.
“The whole thing yesterday was basically a nothing burger. I think the highlight from yesterday was more of the reality that he (Cohen) can’t be trusted.”
Cohen, Donald Trump’s former lawyer, testified on Wednesday calling the president a “con man” who knew in advance about the release of stolen emails aimed at damaging his Democratic rival in the 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump has criticized the hearing saying it should not have been held while he was at the summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
