mr. chairman, charities should not be abused as personal piggy banks. it's both against the law and extremely extremely unfair to charities that play by the rules. a line of questioning that we have not yet addressed, and have been glaringly absent in tackling is that of the abuses of the trump foundation. now, the president's charitable foundation agreed to dissolve in response to an ongoing investigation and lawsuit by the new york attorney general. the new york attorney general found what it called, quote, clear and repeated violations of state and federal law, including, quote, repeated and willful self-dealing by the trump administration. my apologies. by the foundation. if i understand your opening statement correctly in mid 2013, you arranged for a straw purchaser to bid $60,000 for a portrait of donald trump.ego. >> how was it paid for? >> i believe it was paid for by a check from the trust. >> an abuse, and, again, you know, this is not a partisan pursuit here, i think ultimately we're demonstrating it's patriotism, this is about what is right

mr. chairman, really look at foreign payments that come from or with foreign governments. bank he's talking about is owned 81% by the kazakhstan government. >> reclaiming my time. what i will take, -- let me be clear, i said to mr. cohen that if he came in here and lied, i would nail him to the cross. didn't i tell you that? >> yes you did, more than once. >> if there's any ambiguity, i want that to be cleared up. i have no problem working with you to make sure that's straighten out. we can clear that up. we have number of members waiting. >> just on that subject mr. chairman, i don't think we should limit to the b.t.a. bank. we should look at korea, aerospace industries and any other client that's foreign that have connection to that government. i hope they look at all those. >> reclaiming my time. we'll take that under advisement. i'm a man of my word. we'll do -- we'll work with you to see what we can do to come up with that. i don't think it's unreasonable request. >> mr. cohen. you want to focus my questions on the smoking gun document you have provided this committee. the

statements where he asked, sent, trump sent financial statements to deutsche bank -- >> read that first, though. >> it says, "mris a cheat. >> then he says, "as previously stated i'm giving you these financial statements which he gave to deutsche bank to inquire about a loan to buy the buffalo bills and to forbes." and these are exhibits in my testimony. then the other thing he talks about is how -- >> wait, wait, can i read this? "it is my experience that mr. trump inflated his total assets when it served his purposes such as trying to be listed among the wealthiest people in forbes and deflated his assets to reduce his real estate taxes." and he is producing exhibits for testimony of him deflating and inflating his financial interests. go on. >> the use of exhibits in this document is masterful and clearly was put together by someone who i think has experience in court because what they're doing is the exhibits are sort of fenceposts and they will support and prop up what michael cohen's saying. and when he gives this story of the hush money payments, for example, it's one thing for michael cohen to just say

mr. trump broke frwrote from personal bank account after he became president to reimburse me for the hushy payments i made to cover up his affair with an adult film star and to prevent damage to his campaign. >> do you believe that the president committed a crime while in office? >> based on what -- looking at the text, and listening to mr. cohen, it appears that he did. >> michael cohen also implied president trump has committed other crimes, crimes we apparently don't already know about. crimes that are under investigation by federal prosecutors in manhattan. cohen told the panel he last spoke to mr. trump a couple months after the fbi executed warrants on his home, hotel room and office. but he said he couldn't say anything more because it was the subject of a criminal investigation. and then there was this follow up question. >> any other illegal act that you are aware of regarding donald trump that we haven't yet discussed today? >> yes. and again, those are part of the investigation that is currently being looked at by the southern district of new york. >> cohen also claiming that t

mr. abrams: most western banks, not just american banks, won't touch any of this. they need to go look for things like a russian bank that will deal with it. rep. sires: but if we prevent the money from going into venezuela, where are they getting the money to move to russia? can you speak to that? >> i think the point of the sanctions is to do exactly what you described, to keep the money in these locked accounts in the united states so they don't flow back to venezuela and are not then -- rep. sires: disappeared. >> disappears. however, they sanctions were only announced a couple weeks ago. money that had gone back before then is available to the illegitimate regime to be used for these purposes. the point is from now going forward, keeping that money in the blocked accounts so that it can't be misused. rep. sires: thank you very much. my time is up. >> thank you very much. mr. yoho. rep. yoho: thank you, mr. chairman. i appreciate the panel being here. as we know, maduro's disastrous economy has created food insecurity. only about 30% of protein requirements are
