House Republicans issued a criminal referral against former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen for his testimony in the former president’s New York fraud trial.

The letter, which was sent by House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner (R-Ohio) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), said that Mr. Cohen committed perjury and “knowingly made false statements” before a congressional panel several years ago.
