Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer provided the US House intelligence committee with new documents and may hand over more, the panel’s chairman said after a day-long hearing behind closed doors.

 

The Democratic representative Adam Schiff told reporters that Michael Cohen was cooperative and the eight-hour hearing was “very productive”. He did not say what the new documents related to and declined to comment on the substance of Cohen’s testimony.

 

“We had requested documents of Mr Cohen. He has provided additional documents to the committee. There may be additional documents that he still has to offer and his cooperation with our committee continues,” Schiff said.

 

However, several news outlets reported the documents showed alleged edits to the false written statement he delivered to Congress in 2017 saying that discussions around the construction of a Trump Tower in Moscow ended in January 2016.

 

What those edits are exactly is still unknown, but the documents are meant to support the allegations Cohen made last week that Jay Sekulow, Trump’s former personal attorney, had edited his statements before the House and Senate intelligence committees.
