Michael Cohen delays congressional testimony, citing "ongoing threats" from Trump and Giuliani

Salon  

Michael Cohen, the attorney who spent many years working as President Donald Trump's personal "fixer," announced on Wednesday his decision to postpone his scheduled congressional testimony, citing what his lawyer alleged were " ongoing threats" from the commander-in-chief and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani. "Due to ongoing threats against his family from President Trump and Mr. Giuliani, as recently as this weekend, as well as Mr. Cohen's continued cooperation with ongoing investigations, by advice of counsel, Mr. Cohen's appearance will be postponed to a later date," Davis said. Cohen's sentencing was unusual because it involved guilty pleas that he made in two separate cases: one brought by prosecutors in New York over tax evasion, bank fraud allegations and campaign finance violations; and a later one by the team of special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Four months later, on Aug. 21, Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance charges and admitted that he paid off adult film actress Stormy Daniels "at the direction of the candidate," referring to Trump, "for the principal purpose of influencing the election" for president in 2016.
