Paul Manafort has agreed to be interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee as part of its investigation into Russia's meddling in the presidential election, Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said Friday.
Nunes said Manafort's counsel had contacted the committee and offered his client for an interview.
Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman, has come under scrutiny for lobbying work he has done on behalf of clients aligned with Russia.
Manafort has also offered to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee, according to a Senate source.
It is unclear if the two appearances would be in open hearings or private interviews behind closed doors.
