Fox News: Michael Cohen May Have Been Coached by Adam Schiff’s Staffers Ahead of Congressional Testimony

‘Schiff’s office insist to us nothing inappropriate happened’

EXCERPT:

HENRY: "Well Sean, It could be just the beginning because Democrat Adam Schiff is on record refusing to even answer if he would accept Robert Mueller’s conclusion if the Mueller report does not find Russian collusion. Instead, Schiff told CNN last month, he’s moving forward with his own House Intel investigation so that the Russia probe will continue no matter what Mueller finds. So in case you’re wondering if this will be a fair investigation of the President, Fox's Catherine Herridge has found out, as you noted, that Schiff’s Democratic staff came here to New York four times to meet with former Trump attorney Michael Cohen for over ten hours ahead of his seven hours of public testimony. Republican congressman Mike Turner told Fox, this clearly shows to him the witness was coached inappropriately. Sources familiar with the Cohen meeting say the House Intel staffers covered such topics as whether the President inflated some of his assets to insurance companies, and his close relationship with the head of the National Enquirer. That raises eyebrows about how that ties in to oversight of intelligence matters, which is what Schiff is supposed to be doing. In fact, those topics were among the ones that Cohen ended up discussing in his public testimony that went after the President. So it is sparking questions tonight about whether Cohen was coached. Schiff's office insist to us nothing inappropriate happened, they tell us it’s standard procedure to talk to witnesses about what they’ve previously told Congress to get a preview of what they may now say in public. It’s interesting. Tonight the President is tweeting, quoting out something else congressman Turner said, about how he believes the only time Michael Cohen told the truth was when he pled guilty to lying to Congress."
