Michael Cohen likely would be willing to testify before any congressional committee without receiving an immunity agreement, attorney Lanny Davis said Wednesday.
"I have not specifically asked my client that question, but I'm stating my belief that the answer to that question is yes," Davis told CNN's "New Day."
Cohen, the president's former personal attorney, pleaded guilty in federal court in Manhattan Tuesday to charges including fraud and finance violations in connection with his work for President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.
Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, and ranking Democrat Sen. Mark Warner, of Virginia, issued a joint statement Tuesday after Cohen's plea deal was released, telling reporters they have re-engaged with Cohen.
However, Burr said that occurred after press reports suggesting Cohen had "advance knowledge of the June 2016 meeting between campaign officials and Russian lawyers at Trump Tower."
Cohen has already testified that he had not been aware of the Trump Tower meeting, said Burr, but the attorney's legal team told the committee that he would not need to change his original testimony.
