President Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, is now one of the people included in the widening congressional probe into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election.
Cohen told ABC News in an email House and Senate investigators asked him to "provide information and testimony" about any interactions he had with people tied to the Russian government, but Cohen declined their request.
"I declined the invitation to participate as the request was poorly phrased, overly broad and not capable of being answered," Cohen said in an email Tuesday.
Congressional investigators have already asked four people who worked closely with the Trump campaign for records related to contacts they've had with Russian officials.
