WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, has received and rejected a request for documents as part of Congress's ongoing investigation into Russia's election meddling and contacts with the Trump campaign.....
Expect the Fifth Amendment to get a lot of shout-outs in the coming weeks. On Wednesday, the House Intelligence Committee hit two of Trump’s high-level associates with subpoenas: Trump’s longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen and former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
“We approved subpoenas for several individuals for testimony, personal documents, and business records,” Republican Mike Conaway, who is leading the House’s Russia probe, and Democrat Adam Schiff, the committee’s ranking Democrat, said in a joint statement. “We hope and expect that anyone called to testify or provide documents will comply with that request, so that we may gain all the information within the scope of our investigation.”
