President Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, has postponed his scheduled closed-door appearance Tuesday before the Senate Intelligence Committee due to “post-surgery medical needs,” his attorney said Monday in a statement. Cohen’s attorney, Lanny Davis, said that the panel has accepted his client’s request for a delay and that a “future date will be announced by the committee.”

 Cohen recently had shoulder surgery, and he is due to begin a three-year prison sentence on March 6 for campaign finance violations, tax evasion and lying to Congress. He is currently expected to testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Feb. 28.
