Rep. James Comer (R-KY) referenced the opening lines of Michael Cohen’s testimony where he calls President Donald Trump “a cheat” at the hearing Wednesday, asking what Cohen would label himself.

Comer seemed taken aback. “Well, no comment on that,” he said after a beat.

“I appreciate that,” Cohen quipped.
