President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen was subpoenaed by the Senate Intelligence Committee to testify in mid-February, a source familiar with the matter told CNBC on Thursday.
A spokeswoman for the committee’s ranking Democrat, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, declined CNBC’s request for comment. Lanny Davis, a spokesman and advisor to Cohen, also declined to comment.
Cohen had been scheduled to testify in a public hearing before the Democrat-led House Oversight and Reform Committee on Feb. 7. But on Wednesday, Cohen postponed that hearing, citing ongoing “threats” against his family allegedly made by Trump and his current lawyer, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Cohen had been scheduled to testify in the House a month before he was due to enter a federal prison to begin serving a three-year sentence for crimes he pleaded guilty to, including ones that implicated Trump directly.
