Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) sent a letter on May 1 to the Department of Justice demanding an investigation into Michael Cohen for perjury before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in 2019.

The letter, coauthored with committee Chair Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio), is a follow-up from their November 2023 referral, which the lawmakers say has revealed a “double standard.”
