| | | Fox's Napolitano: Cohen testimony included 'at least four potential felonies' against Trump
................
Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano said Wednesday that President Trump faces "at least four potential felonies" if Michael Cohen's testimony before Congress is found to be truthful.
"If the conversation [Cohen] says he overheard with Roger Stone is true, then the president lied under oath, because the president swore to the accuracy of his answers to the written questions from [special counsel Robert Mueller], one of which was: ‘Did you speak to Roger Stone about Julian Assange?’ Answer: No," Napolitano said.
"If what Michael Cohen says is true, that the president knew about the meeting with the Russians in Trump Tower in June 2016, then he lied under oath, because he told Bob Mueller he didn’t know about it,” he added.

Cohen provided Congress with a copy of a $35,000 check from August 2017 he says was from Trump. He said that the money was a partial reimbursement for the payment he made to Daniels as part of the hush money deal.
"In one case there is corroborating evidence, and that is the payments by Trump signed while he was president to Michael Cohen, showing a debt from the president to Cohen," Napolitano said. "The president swore in his financial statements filed with the Department of the Treasury he didn’t have any debts with Cohen.
"And two months after he swore to the accuracy of that, he starts writing checks of $35,000 a month to Cohen," Napolitano said. "That extends the conspiracy to defraud the Federal Election Commission of accurate campaign information into the president’s presidency."
