The House Oversight Committee — and the American public — will hear all about the work President Donald Trump’s former lawyer did when Michael Cohen testifies next month. Before he begins a three-year prison sentence in March, Cohen will appear before the committee on Feb. 7, and he is expected to describe in detail what he did for Trump, The New York Times reported on Thursday.
According to CNBC, Cohen’s decision to testify was voluntary. He believes that appearing before the committee will give him the opportunity “to give a full and credible account of the events that have transpired,” according to a statement he issued on Thursday.
“In furtherance of my commitment to cooperate and provide the American people with answers, I have accepted the invitation by Chairman Elijah Cummings to appear publicly on February 7,” Cohen said in his statement, per The New York Times .
Back in August, Cohen pleaded guilty to tax evasion, bank fraud, and campaign finance violations.
