CNN: Elijah Cummings Expected to Issue a Subpoena for Michael Cohen’s Testimony

‘[Cummings] said he would issue a statement later today’

EXCERPT:

RAJU: "Steven Lynch, he's a senior member of the House Oversight Committee, I just caught up with his colleague Jeremy Herb and he said he expects Elijah Cummings as the chairman of the committee to issue a subpoena for Michael Cohen’s testimony before he does head to jail. According to Steven Lynch, he said he has spoken with Cummings and that the overwhelming consensus among members of the committee is that Cohen should be subpoenaed. He said that Lynch said that Cummings was still having discussions about the way forward and was aware of the concerns about Michael Cohen’s security threats to his family and the concerns that he’s been raising, but still they do want to hear from him so they plan, at least according to Steven Lynch, the Democratic member of the committee, that they do expect perhaps some effort to try to compel Michael Cohen to testify in public. What does he do at that point? Does he fight that? Does he not comply with that? He’s going to jail anyways.”
