The Washington Post editorial board described the congressional testimony of President Donald Trump’s former fixer and lawyer Michael Cohen on Wednesday, as “explosive.”

But, in an op-ed published later in the day, the newspaper’s board said it was “explosive not for what was new — but, depressingly, what was not new to anyone watching this administration with clear eyes.”

“The takeaway: President Trump is a liar with a defective character — and, possibly, a criminal,” it added.

The board further noted how Cohen calling Trump “a racist” and “a conman” during his testimony was “dishearteningly believable.”
