Comedian Bill Hader played Jordan and Ben Stiller played Michael Cohen.

Jordan, the top Republican ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, grilled Cohen, a former personal attorney for President Donald Trump, at Wednesday's public hearing.  

A federal judge sentenced Cohen to 36 months in prison in December.

Earlier in the year, Cohen admitted to lying to Congress in connection to a Trump Tower deal in Moscow.

He also pleaded guilty to eight charges including multiple counts of tax evasion and arranging illicit payments to silence women who posed a risk to Trump's presidential campaign.
