Lawmakers with the House and Senate Intelligence committees reportedly questioned President Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen this week about whether he and high-level members of the Trump administration discussed a potential pardon.
Sources close to the closed-door discussions told The Washington Post that Cohen and lawmakers on the two panels talked with Cohen this week about whether he had discussed the possibility of accepting a pardon from Trump for the crimes he pleaded guilty to last year.
It wasn’t clear what Cohen told congressional investigators about potential discussions on pardons, according to the Post, but the newspaper noted that Cohen’s lawyer told MSNBC a day after his public testimony that “pretty explosive” information on potential obstruction of justice by Trump had been discussed with lawmakers.
The lawmakers and Cohen discussed “new information … that could be game changing,” in closed-door testimony related to “lying and obstruction evidence,” Lanny Davis told MSNBC.
