Cohen testimony: Trump's former lawyer will return to give further evidence - 'I will be back'

What happened the day after Michael Cohen's dramatic open testimony to Congress

Trump calls Michael Cohen a liar following televised testimony

Michael Cohen says he is committed to the truth and will return to Capitol Hill in March with further evidence, after three days in Washington that has captivated the country.

The president's former personal lawyer and long-time fixer delivered hours of remarkable claims and accusations against his old boss on Wednesday, including calling him a "racist", "conman" and "cheat"

He returned Capitol Hill on Thursday for his third day of testimony this week, and delivered closed-door testimony to the House Intelligence Committee run by frequent Trump antagonist, Representative Adam Schiff.

"I am committed to telling the truth and I will be back on March 6th to finish up," Cohen said after that closed door meeting.

The fallout from Cohen's Wednesday testimony was evidence in Washington as he returned for the closed door testimony.

Democratic Representative Eljiah Cummings, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee that hosted Cohen Wednesday, told reporters that anybody who was named multiple times by Cohen could expect to be called in to speak to the panel. During his testimony, the former Trump fixer repeatedly mentioned the president's oldest son Donald Trump Jr, and implicated him in a scheme to pay hush money to Stormy Daniels alongside the chief financial officer of the Trump Organisation.

Meanwhile, Republicans attempted to further cast doubt on Cohen's character, with two Republicans filing a motion with the Department of Justice to consider perjury charges for Cohen over comments he made on Wednesday.

Cohen's lawyer rejected the accusations as baseless.

Meanwhile, Minnesota representative Ilhan Omar, a Democratic representative, told Rolling Stone magazine she believed Mr Trump's presidency must end in impeachment.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi then attempted to downplay expectations that any effort to impeach the president would make headway in the House.

Mr Trump, for his part, lashed out at his former employee, suggesting 95 per cent of what he said during his evidence was a lie.
