Lewandowski ultimately declined to deliver the message. See the entire exchangehere. Congressman Cohen quoted from a variety of press accounts regarding Lewandowski's unquestioning loyalty to Trump,andasked: Let me ask you this: Did the president pick you as an enforcer because he thought you'd play whatever role he wanted? Is that possibly why he chose you to take this message to Sessions? Lewandowskianswered thatthat question would be better put to thePresident. Congressman Cohen noted that Trump talked to Lewandowski outside normal channels so there'd be no record of anything. Congressman Cohen said,But at the last minute, you got cold feet. You chickened out. ThePresident's trust was misplaced. Congressman Cohen concluded his questioning by saying Lewandowski's testimony wasjustmore obstruction of Congress by thisAdministration with Lewandowski following instructions not to provide useful testimony. You're a loyal soldier, Congressman Cohen said. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
