WASHINGTON (AP) – a Senate Committee investigating the Russian interference in the presidential election of 2016 quoted Michael Cohen, exabogado staff of President Donald Trump, and Cohen intends to go e l next month, his lawyer said Thursday. The news comes a day after Cohen postponed the presentation of his public testimony before a Committee of the Chamber of Representantes.Lanny Davis, lawyer for Cohen, announced the subpoena of the Committee on intelligence of the Senate in a release of a single phrase. Later said that both sides had agreed to hold an interview on February 12.
Cohen, who used to fix problems the President will begin to meet in March, a sentence to three years in prison.

The Senate Committee did not immediately confirm the issuance of the summons, but any interview with Cohen certainly would be conducted in private, in accordance with the way in which the panel is usually done hearings related to the theme of the Russian intervention in the elections. Previously this week Cohen postponed his presentation on 7 February before the Committee on oversight and reform of the House of representatives on the recommendation of his team of lawyers, arguing for this that it is cooperating with the investigation of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller about the case of Russia and because his family has received threats. Trump, along with their lawyer Rudy Guliani, has urged the Justice Department to investigate the father-in-law of Cohen, suggesting that this relative was part of an unspecified criminal activity.” If you want to criticize Cohen, can do it,”said Davis. “Obviously, messing with his family publicly is a way to silence him or intimidate him. And certainly that has generated much fear in their other relatives, reason why we postpone it”. In an interview on Thursday, Davis said that the House of representatives should be an immediate vote on a censure to Trump “as a prelude to an investigation for impeachment”, and it said to be support for an investigation into criminal charges against Giuliani by accusations of obstruction of Justice, intimidation of witnesses and tamper with witnesses.
