Cohen To Testify In Closed Hearing On February 8th

Axios reports:

Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen has voluntarily agreed to testify behind closed doors to the House Intelligence Committee on Feb. 8, committee chair Adam Schiff announced in a statement today. Cohen said last week that he was postponing his testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee — originally scheduled for Feb. 7 — due to “threats against his family from President Trump and Mr. Giuliani,” as well as his cooperation in ongoing investigations.

.@RepAdamSchiff – the American people deserve to know the truth about Trump and they deserve to hear the truth directly from Michael Cohen. Allowing him to testify privately is NOT acceptable. And how does that help protect his family (way overblown) – he’s still testifying??? https://t.co/XRkrgT4WbG
