If an individual's name came up repeatedly during Cohen's testimony, "They have a good chance of hearing from us," Cummings said.

Those individuals could be called to testify, or at least sit for an interview with lawmakers, he added.

Asked if that would include calling Trump's adult children before the committee, Cummings said he would "follow the transcript."

Cohen sat for nearly seven hours of testimony on Wednesday, where he described Trump as a "racist" and a "con man" who repeatedly encouraged him to lie. Cohen alleged that the president engaged in campaign finance violations, ethics violations and tax fraud by inflating or deflating his assets for business reasons.

He also cited numerous individuals who he said would have additional knowledge of the president's potential wrongdoing, including his eldest son Donald Trump Jr. Don John Trump'Tiger King' star Joe Exotic requests pardon from Trump: 'Be my hero please' Zaid Jilani discusses Trump's move to cancel racial sensitivity training at federal agencies Trump International Hotel in Vancouver closes permanently MORE and Trump Organization executive Allen Weisselberg, among others.

Cummings told reporters after the hearing that the committee "probably” will want to hear from Weisselberg and Trump Jr., but noted they would be careful not to interfere with ongoing investigations by the special counsel's offie or federal prosecutors.

He added on Thursday that he would meet with other Democratic committee chairs to discuss how to proceed on certain revelations.

"I’m not going to operate like the Republicans operated," he said. "A lot of times what they would do is they, again, they would go out, they would create a headline and then they’d try to find the facts to match it.

"I’m going to follow the facts," he added. "And then if a headline comes out of it, fine."
