Michael Cohen heads to prison on March 6th, which limits the time he has left to testify before members of Congress, but Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis, says three recently postponed sessions will take place in the next few weeks.
CNBC:
Those panels include the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, where Cohen's testimony will be public. Cohen had previously indefinitely postponed his appearance before that committee due to fears for his family's safety.
Davis told CNBC that the date of that upcoming appearance will be released by the House panel. An Oversight Committee staffer declined to release the date on Wednesday.
Cohen's testimony to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Intelligence Committee will be closed. The date of the Senate panel appearance has not been made public. Davis declined Wednesday to release it, and a panel spokeswoman said the committee has a policy of not commenting on potential witness appearances.
Cohen is scheduled to testify Feb. 28 before the House panel.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) expressed his frustration with Cohen Tuesday after the president's former fixer cancelled his testimony, citing medical issues, but was spotted out to dinner in NYC Saturday night in perfectly fine shape. Davis fired back, saying Cohen could be in pain but still dine out.
During an appearance on MSNBC on Wednesday, Davis called Burr a "good guy," but added, speaking as if Burr was in the room with him, "we're coming in less than two weeks!"
"Your staff probably didn't tell you that when you went on television yesterday," Davis quipped.
Also during that appearance, Davis repeatedly mentioned an online legal defense fund set up for the 52-year-old Cohen.
Davis said Cohen "has been through a very difficult time period, his family's been through a difficult time period, and if I may add, he's got a fund."
"They are having their issues and we would appreciate help on that front," Davis said.
