WASHINGTON, DC — Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney and fixer for President Donald Trump, has indefinitely postponed his planned congressional testimony, according to The New York Times. The decision was made due to ongoing threats against Cohen and his family, Cohen’s lawyer Lanny Davis told the Times in a statement. He specifically cited Trump’s verbal attacks.
“By advice of counsel, Mr. Cohen’s appearance will be postponed to a later date,” said Davis. “Mr. Cohen wishes to thank Chairman Cummings for allowing him to appear before the House Oversight Committee and looks forward to testifying at the appropriate time.”
He added: “This is a time where Mr. Cohen had to put his family and their safety first.”
