CNN) President Donald Trump's ex-attorney Michael Cohen has postponed his congressional testimony before a second House committee, as the House Intelligence panel has scrapped his planned Friday appearance.

House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff said in a statement that Cohen's closed-door testimony would be postponed until later this month.

"In the interests of the investigation, Michael Cohen's testimony has been postponed until February 28th," said Schiff, a Democrat from California.

4. We're never going to know the truth about anything any more...

I miss the days of Watergate. At least we got to learn a little about what was going on back then. Our government is too scared to let us know how corrupt both sides are. They think if we find out someone took a bribe it's a matter of national security and too sensitive for us to find out. BS...

5. This must be in light of new circumstances and opportunities Schiff knows of.

There's no reason to rush Cohen's testimony if his committee or Mueller's investigation already has all the proof they need to clean house of the billionaire's club.

6. "Sigh"

7. Isn't he in jail a week after that?

Can he delay long enough to end up behind bars?
If so, can he be brought in in an orange suit and cuffs to testify?

9. I actually fear for Michael Cohen's life.

Trump knows NY mafia types (alongnwith numerous Russian mafia) who would not hesitate to have another prisoner murder Cohen. I hope he is well protected.

11. That would have to be something Trump arranged himself.

Given all the investigations, Trump would be an idiot to make a phone call or take the secret service to set up something like that.

And and mobster that took a job like that, given all the heat, would be an incompetent doofus.

8. I think this might be good news.

Could be something big and imminent coming so Schiff doesnt want to muddy the waters with a high-profile testimony.

10. I don't know if this is good or bad

But I'm feeling increasingly uncomfortable with the delays and postponements.
