Senate investigators called off an expected closed-door interview September 19 with Michael Cohen, saying they were upset that the longtime lawyer to President Donald Trump released a statement denying any role in Russian meddling in the 2016 election after the committee asked him not to comment publicly.
The Senate Intelligence Committee now expects to schedule a public hearing with Cohen, as opposed to what was supposed to be a private interview on September 19 committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and top Democrat Mark Warner of Virginia said in a joint statement.
