Rep. Elise Stefanik, the House GOP conference chair, and House Intelligence Chair Mike Turner are calling for a criminal investigation into whether former Donald Trump attorney Michael Cohen committed perjury in testimony before Congress.
In their complaint, sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland, the two say there is “compelling evidence” that Cohen “appears to have committed perjury and knowingly made false statements while testifying under oath during his deposition before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (“Committee”) on February 28, 2019.” They go on to request that the Department of Justice investigate whether his testimony warrants another charge for making a false statement.
“The Biden Justice Department must take off its partisan blinders and investigate disgraced fraudster and disbarred attorney Michael Cohen, a felon previously convicted for lying to Congress, who just admitted to lying again to Congress,” Stefanik said in a statement.
