( CNN) President Donald Trump's former fixer and personal lawyer Michael Cohen expressed contrition Tuesday upon his return to Capitol Hill, apologizing to the Senate Intelligence Committee for the lies he told during his 2017 evidence, according to multiple sources familiar with his interview.
“At this time I truly appreciate the opportunity that was given to me to clear the record, and to tell the truth, ” Cohen told reporters in brief remarks leaving Tuesday's closed door meeting. “And I look forward to tomorrow to being able to have my voice to tell the American people my narrative and I'm going to let the American people decide exactly who is telling the truth.”
In his public evidence Wednesday, Cohen is expected to discuss publicly for the first time Trump's role in some of the crimes his former lawyer pleaded guilty to last year, a source familiar with Cohen's preparations for his testimony told CNN.
