For a year now, Trump, Inc. has been digging into the president’s business. We’ve reached out repeatedly to the Trump Organization with questions. Mostly, we haven’t gotten answers.  

Yesterday was different.

Michael Cohen worked for a decade as the president’s in-house attorney and fixer. In his testimony before the House Oversight Committee, he offered a detailed, insider account of alleged fraud, secrecy and cover-ups.

In many cases, what he described connected to the very stories we’ve been digging into:

-- How Cohencame to work for Trump.

-- Evidence of possiblewrongdoingby the Trump inaugural committee. (The District of Columbia’s attorney general justsubpoenaed the Trump inaugural committee, citing issues we revealed.)

-- How Trump often changed the value of his assets, sometimes to seem richer, sometimes to lower his taxes, likeat his golf courses

Trump, Inc. hosts Andrea Bernstein and Ilya Marritz sat down to review what we’ve learned and what it means for ongoing investigations into the president and his business.Dan AlexanderfromForbesjoined them.
