Testimony from President Donald Trump’s former attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, before the House Intelligence Committee this week has been delayed, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) announced Wednesday.

“In the interests of the investigation, Michael Cohen’s testimony has been postponed until February 28th,” Schiff, the chairman of the committee, said in a brief statement.


Cohen was slated to testify Friday behind closed doors. He has admitted to lying to the House and Senate intelligence committees as part of their investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Other congressional committees have expressed interest in speaking with Cohen — who is scheduled to report to prison on March 6 — sometime this month. He was sentenced to three years behind bars for tax fraud and lying to Congress.

The Senate Intelligence Committee has issued Cohen a subpoena to compel his testimony on Feb. 12, while the House Oversight Committee is still negotiating with Cohen’s legal team about a public appearance before that panel.
