Cohen to Congress: My father survived the Holocaust thanks to compassion of others

Michael Cohen explains to Congress why he had been willing to lie to them in his last testimony on US President Donald Trump’s behalf: “I have always tried to live a life of loyalty, friendship, generosity, and compassion – qualities my parents ingrained in my siblings and me since childhood. My father survived the Holocaust thanks to the compassion and selfless acts of others. He was helped by many who put themselves in harm’s way to do what they knew was right.”

“That is why my first instinct has always been to help those in need. Mom and Dad. I am sorry that I let you down.”
