  • Michael Cohen, a former personal lawyer and fixer for President Donald Trump, will testify in a public hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on Wednesday.
  • The Oversight Committee is chock full of far-right and far-left members of Congress, some of whom are known for making a big show and grilling witnesses.
  • Cohen will also make other testimonies before different committees next week, but those will be behind closed doors and out of public view.

Michael Cohen - who at one time served as President Donald Trump's personal lawyer and is now preparing for a three-year prison term - is scheduled to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform next Wednesday. When he does, he will have to face-off against a handful of eager and frustrated lawmakers from both parties.

Cohen will also face rounds of questioning from different congressional panels, including a closed-door interview with the Senate Intelligence Committee. But regarding the testimony before the Oversight panel, which will be open to the public, the former Trump lawyer will be confronted by a number of lawmakers with big personalities on the far-right and far-left, all with their own individual agendas and motivations.

Here are some of the key figures to watch during Wednesday's testimony.
