Lanny Davis: Michael Cohen’s New Closed Door Testimony Was ‘Pretty Explosive’ and ‘Game Changing’

EXCERPT:

DAVIS: "In a way, Michael was more effective today than he even was yesterday when he exceeded all of our expectations in working with him because today new information was developed that really could be game-changing. And Chairman Schiff and everybody in the room who wasn't a partisan Republican praised him for his honesty and forthrightness, and the development of this new information is the reason he’s coming back next Wednesday."
MADDOW: "Obviously, you can’t tell us in detail about the nature of the testimony, that’s why it was behind closed doors. But in general terms, when you say new information was developed, is this information that's core to the Russia investigation or is this new information about the kinds of things he talked about in detail yesterday?"
DAVIS: “I would say it’s not core to the Russia investigation, but Mr. Trump has missed the big picture. There is plenty of evidence of a conspiracy to collude with Russia. But this is about lying and obstruction evidence and I think that the Trump White House and Mr. Trump himself doesn’t seem to have read the definition of obstruction of justice or of suborning perjury. That’s about the best I can tell you, but it’s pretty explosive.”
