JUST IN: House and Senate Intel Cmtes. are examining whether any effort was made to influence Michael Cohen through discussions about a pardon after his home and office were searched by the FBI in April, sources familiar with the matter told NBCNews.

Michael Cohen gets emotional listening to Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., give his closing statement after Cohen testified before the House Oversight Committee on Capitol Hill on Feb. 27, 2019.Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.

During closed testimony last week before both committees, Cohen testified about possible pardon discussions, the sources said, but they declined to discuss the details. The intent of the inquiry, the sources said, was to determine whether there was any effort to obstruct justice. When Cohen’s properties were searched, it became known that he was in deep legal trouble over his business dealings. By that time, he had already lied to Congress about the timing of the Trump Tower Moscow project, and, according to him, President Donald Trump knew he had lied.

It’s not clear what, if any, specific discussions about pardons took place. Cohen later said he would not accept a pardon from the president, broke with Trump, and is now accusing him of a variety of misdeeds.Ken Dilanian

I’d be surprised if it wasn’t!but it was u can bank on it.

Fake news!

fakenews

😂😂😂you are gonna POP your hamstrings stretching losers.

I’m pretty sure Cohen would have mentioned that if it were true. But, nice try.

Which may explain why Roger Stone is so adamant he is innocent and has said he will not speak against Trump. Except that, accepting a pardon is an automatic admittance of guilt. Oops.

NBCNightlyNews If he get a pardon justice is totally gone

So is Adam Schiff guilty of witness tampering when he talked to Cohen before he testified

I think if Cohen was offered a pardon he would of took it.

Why didn't they ask him when he was there in front of him

RepAdamSchiff told him what to say! What a bunch of schitt ! The whole realDonaldTrump investigation is nothing but a WitchHunt ! All based on lies by liars DonaldJTrumpJr LindseyGrahamSC FoxNews foxandfriends

Lies lies lies by democrats who are sending a message. Get in our way of power and we’ll destroy you eventually. We’ll harass your family and friends. We’ll cost your family millions in legal fees. We’ll make your life a living h_ _ _ _. All while we chant love trumps hate.

Saw your piece on dairy farms. Farmers are struggling because of ICE's quotas to arrest illegal workers. Americans won't do this work, farmers reply on immigrant labor. My friend in the Northeast is struggling, and reports these workers are among the best people he's ever met.

He met with the dems prior to questioning what more is needed in today's society of no proof needed. I believe there was collusion with the dems but no proof

Imagine if the left worked this hard on behalf of the American people, we'd solve all of our problems in 6 months

This logistically makes zero sense.

so many concurrent investigations lol

This looks very familiar right trillanes et al? Still trying hard to pin Mayor durerte?

You threatened Cohen’s wife Lynne Patton Facebook post Lynne Patton introduced Tlaib calling Lynne Patton a prop

NBCNightlyNews So? The ability to pardon is exclusively the right of the POTUS...and last I checked..Cohen is headed to prison.

Get this so-called president out already

NBCNightlyNews Or Schiff's involvement!!!!

He testified that was never discussed didn’t he? How about investigate the meeting with cummings and schiff?

Then why didn't they just ask him last week ... He's coming back in the coming weeks ....amiright

I thought it strange for Cohen to vehemently state he would not accept a pardon. Why bring that up,?

Need to investigate Schiff and Cummings for tampering with Cohens testimony

I am going with True

Yawn. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

But no investigation into Shifty’s coaching?

If proven true, would constitute Obstruction of Justice and would definitely trigger formal Impeachment proceedings in the House

Witch hunt

What about offers of reduced sentence for testifying before Congress? Isn’t that the essentially the same tactic?

Michael Cohen denies claim he wanted a job at the White HousePresident Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, denied on Wednesday that he wanted a job at the White House after Trump was elected in 2016. His answer makes sense - as a public servant, he could not continue to cover Trump's butt... Droopy Dog ...I think Michael Cohen should ask every GOP member of Congress on the committee questioning him: ‘How long have you known DT; and do you know him long enough personally to vouch for him?’
