Michael Cohen said during his congressional testimony that he knows about more alleged illegal acts involving President Trump but can't talk about them because they're under investigation.
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) asked Cohen on Wednesday when he last communicated with Trump or someone acting on his behalf. Cohen revealed that he did so within two months of his office being raided last August, but he said he can't discuss the conversation because it's being investigated by the Southern District of New York. "I've been asked by them not to talk about these issues," he said.
