WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen is pushing back against a Republican-led accusation that he lied during his public testimony before Congress on Wednesday.
Reps. Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows sent a 30-page letter outlining a number of Cohen’s comments, which the pair, both hardline Trump supporters, are claiming to be lies. In the letter, which is addressed to Attorney General William Barr, Jordan, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, and Meadows ask that Cohen be investigated for perjury and making false statements.
„His testimony included intentionally false statements designed to make himself look better on a national stage,“ the pair wrote in the letter, which included exhibits and a copy of Cohen’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee.
Lanny Davis, an attorney for Cohen, said in a statement that the partisan referral was a „sad misuse of the criminal justice system.
