WASHINGTON—Republicans on the House Oversight and Reform Committee are calling on Oversight Chair Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) to refer former personal attorney to President Donald Trump Michael Cohen to the Department of Justice for prosecution.

They allege that Cohen lied to Congress seven additional times during a Feb. 27 Oversight Committee hearing after pleading guilty last year to lying to Congress.
