Story highlights Cohen says the probe is a "total fishing expedition" and he won't cooperate

Cohen is the second person, after Michael Flynn, in Trump's orbit to flatly deny a request from congressional investigators

Washington (CNN) One of President Donald Trump's personal attorneys, Michael Cohen, has received an "invitation to provide information and testimony" that pertains to the Russia investigation to House and Senate intelligence committees, Cohen has confirmed.

"I declined the invitation to participate, as the request was poorly phrased, overly broad and not capable of being answered," Cohen told CNN Tuesday, adding that he considered it a "total fishing expedition."

"They have yet to produce one single piece of credible evidence that would corroborate the Russia narrative," Cohen said. He called the investigation a "rush to judgment."

Cohen told CNN Tuesday that if Congress issues a subpoena to him, he will testify.

"I have not been subpoenaed to testify. If I am subpoenaed to testify I will comply -- and gladly -- as I have nothing to hide," Cohen said. "There is no shred of evidence that implicates me."
