For the Democrats to interview in open hearings a convicted liar & fraudster, at the same time as the very important Nuclear Summit with North Korea, is perhaps a new low in American politics and may have contributed to the “walk.” Never done when a president is overseas. Trump had arranged a dinner with Kim last Wednesday night, but only after House Democrats announced that Cohen would testify on Capitol Hill at about the same time. Trump tweeted about the testimony’s apparent negative fallout just hours after National Security Adviser John Bolton hailed the truncated talks in Hanoi, Vietnam. They said Kim only wanted economic sanctions imposed since 2016 lifted, not older ones, and none concerning armaments. State Department officials later confirmed North Korea’s version of the breakdown on sanctions.
