"The Committee anticipates bringing in Mr. Weisselberg," the aide told The Hill.

Weisselberg's attorney declined to comment.

Cohen named Weisselberg, among other Trump Organization executives, as being able to corroborate his allegations about the president's private business.

The executive has worked for the Trump family business for decades, first for the president's father before climbing the ladder within the organization.

During his congressional hearing on Wednesday, Cohen identified Weisselberg's signature on a check the president's former lawyer received as part of a reimbursement for a hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

And Cohen claimed that Weisselberg was aware of Trump inflating his assets to an insurance company, and that the executive knew about the family’s tax practices.

Weisselberg also reportedly has an immunity deal with federal prosecutors in the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan, which have been looking into the payment to Daniels.

Cohen said during his testimony that the office was investigating other illegal acts by the president.

Cohen was also questioned behind closed doors on Thursday by the House Intelligence Committee, but is expected to meet with the panel again next week.
