INTELLIGENCE/MICHAEL COHEN/SENATE/TRUMP PEOPLE: “U.S. President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday [2-26-19] in one of three appearances before U.S. lawmakers next week ahead of reporting to prison in May. Cohen, Trump’s longtime fixer who is set to go to prison for three years after pleading guilty to campaign finance and other crimes, will speak to senators behind closed doors, two sources familiar with congressional plans told Reuters. Representatives of the committee could not be immediately reached for comment. Cohen’s Senate committee testimony will be the first of three congressional appearances the former Trump lawyer is scheduled to make next week. The House Oversight Committee, now led by Democrat Elijah Cummings, announced on Wednesday [2-20-19] that it will hold a public hearing next Wednesday [2-219] at which Cohen will be the only witness.”
