Cohen says Trump inflated his wealth in Bills bid

NEW YORK -- Michael Cohen said during his congressional testimony Wednesday that Donald Trump grossly overstated his wealth before becoming president, including inflating his assets during a failed bid to buy the Buffalo Bills in 2014.

The claim raises questions about whether Trump could face even more legal trouble if, as Cohen said, he misrepresented his worth in applying for a loan to buy the NFL team.

Experts said a criminal case against Trump appears unlikely for several reasons. But Cohen's latest assertions could affect the court of public opinion at a time when lawmakers are discussing the possibility of impeachment.
