Cohen also testified to Congress that he spoke directly to Sekulow about pardons, according to the sources, which Sekulow denies. The matter is being investigated in Congress following Cohen's public and private testimony before three congressional committees over the past two weeks. In question is whether there was an effort to seek a pardon or offer a pardon in exchange for Cohen's cooperation. The discussions about Cohen's options, including a pardon, between Cohen's camp and the President's legal team occurred at various times, including after Cohen's home and office were raided. Cohen told Congress that he spoke to Sekulow about a possible pardon, though no pardon was directly offered in those conversations, sources said.
