As the Roger Stone indictment lays out all the ways in which the president's longtime political aid intentionally lied to the House Intelligence Committee – and encouraged Randy Credico to lie too, Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) says he will hand over all witness testimony transcripts to Special Counsel Robert Mueller for comparison with facts he likely already has uncovered.
“This is now the second witness who has been indicted for or plead guilty to making false statements in testimony before our Committee,” Schiff said on Twitter.
“The first order of business for the Committee will be to release all remaining transcripts to the Special Counsel’s Office, and we will continue to follow the facts wherever they lead.”

“Neither we nor the Special Counsel will tolerate efforts by any person to impede any investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, nor to pressure a witness to withhold testimony from or mislead Congress,” Schiff said.

Schiff said earlier this week that Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen is expected to testify before his panel and the House Oversight and Reform Committee, despite the postponement of his Feb. 7 appearance due to what Cohen says were threats against his family.
Cohen admitted last year that he lied to Congress. He is scheduled to start his three-year prison sentence in March but has agreed to meet with the House committees before then.
