Mr. Cohen accused Mr. Trump of lying to the public about business interests in Russia, of lying to reporters about stolen Democratic emails, and of telling Mr. Cohen to lie about hush payments to cover up sexual misconduct. Mr. Cohen said he had no “direct evidence that Mr. Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia,” but added, “I have my suspicions.” Here are five takeaways from his testimony.

Response: Republicans denounced both Mr. Cohen, who has pleaded guilty to lying under oath to Congress, and the Democratic-led hearing, which they called a “charade” and an “embarrassment for our country.”

The nasty breakup of a long relationship

Michael Cohen said on Wednesday that President Trump remained deeply involved in the payment of hush money to a pornographic film actress, even while in the White House. Mr. Cohen also implicated Mr. Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., and the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization in the arrangement.

“Sitting here today, it seems unbelievable that I was so mesmerized by Donald Trump that I was willing to do things for him that I knew were absolutely wrong,” Mr. Cohen said. We looked at the history between the two men.

News analysis: Mr. Cohen’s testimony represents a test for both political parties, one of our White House correspondents writes. Democrats will face calls to impeach Mr. Trump, and Republicans will have to decide how much to support him.
