Two House allies of former President Donald Trump called on Attorney General Merrick Garland Tuesday to launch a criminal probe into Michael Cohen after he testified against his former boss in the New York fraud trial, according to a new report.

House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Turner demanded Garland investigate Cohen for lying under oath to Congress about the former president's business dealings, NBC News reports.

“Michael D. Cohen appears to have committed perjury,” the letter, dated Tuesday, reads. "That Mr. Cohen was willing to openly and brazenly state at trial that he lied to Congress on this specific issue is startling.”

Cohen issued a statement Thursday condemning the House representatives for what he dubbed a harassment campaign.
