Top Democrats call for new Cohen testimony following guilty plea
Several top Democratic lawmakers are calling on Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former attorney, to return to Congress to testify in light of his guilty plea on charges that he lied to Congress about business dealings in Russia.
"Mr. Cohen was one of the witnesses that we've always wanted to have come back and that need goes up," Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters on Capitol Hill.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who is expected to lead the House Intelligence Committee once Democrats assume the House majority in January, also said he intends to bring Cohen back before Congress to testify about Trump's business relationship with Russia.
The lawmakers' comments came shortly after Cohen appeared in front of a federal judge in New York to plead guilty to lying to Congress about a statement he made regarding plans for a Trump Tower in Moscow.
