Trump's ex-lawyer to talk to Senate intel panel on Tuesday: sourcesU.S. President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday 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. 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 that it will hold a public hearing next Wednesday at which Cohen will be the only witness.
