Two top House Republicans on Wednesday asked the Department of Justice to investigate whether Michael Cohen—who will likely be a witness in former President Donald Trump’s New York trial—committed perjury in his testimony to Congress.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), who previously referred Mr. Cohen to the DOJ for criminal prosecution in 2019, wrote that Mr. Cohen allegedly “lied again before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in a 2019 deposition” and that his “testimony is now the basis for a politically motivated prosecution of a former president and current declared candidate for that office.”
