Top Democrats Warn Trump Over Cohen Statements

“The Democratic chairmen of three House panels called on President Donald Trump to cease what they said are ‘efforts to discourage, intimidate, or otherwise pressure’ his former personal attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, ‘not to provide testimony to Congress,'” ABC News reports.

“Reps. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Jerry Nadler (D-NY), and Adam Schiff (D-CA), chairmen of the House Oversight, Judiciary, and Intelligence Committees, respectively, issued the statement Sunday morning in response to comments the president made Saturday night in an interview on Fox News.”

“In the interview, Trump accused Cohen of agreeing to testify in front of Congress as part of an effort ‘to get his sentence reduced,’ and suggested without evidence that Cohen’s father-in-law might face legal exposure because ‘that’s the money in the family.'”
