President Donald Trump‘s former lawyer Michael Cohen is set to testify publicly before the House Oversight Committee, Democrats announced on Thursday.

Cohen, who was recently sentenced to three years in prison after being charged with orchestrating illegal hush money payments to women alleging affairs with Trump during the 2016 election. He was also charged with lying to Congress about plans to build a Trump tower in Moscow in 2016.

Cohen said he will “give a full and credible account of the events that have transpired.”

“I thank Michael Cohen for agreeing to testify before the Oversight Committee voluntarily,” said Rep. Elijah Cummings, the House Oversight chairman.

The public hearing is scheduled for February 7, 2019. Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House intelligence committee, also said he would be seeking a closed door hearing with Cohen.

UPDATE: Cohen issued a statement addressing his hearing:

And will be tweeting something accusing him of something , and calling him names soon , and saying he can't be trusted , when its all really him. He always does this to others who are willing to expose him on anything. He'll threaten him with a tweet suggesting he'll be sorry, or something crazy trying to intimidate him. Why, because he's scared what he'll say openly, or he'll try to block him by claiming something made up. Cohen knows so much trump will again walk into another trap he can't escape from. trumps desperate now.
