WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 21st June, 2019) The US House of Representatives Intelligence Committee will subpoena former Trump associate Felix Sater regarding the Trump tower project in Moscow, Russia, after Sater failed to participate in an interview with lawmakers, Intelligence Committee spokesperson Patrick Boland said in a statement on Friday.

"The Committee had scheduled a voluntary staff-level interview with Mr. Sater, but he did not show up this morning as agreed," the Boland said in the statement. "As a result, the Committee is issuing a subpoena to compel his testimony."

President Donald Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen, during his testimony before the US Congress, suggested that Trump was aware of talks about building a Trump tower in Moscow even as his presidential campaign began.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report, which was released in April, concluded that there was no evidence of Trump-Russia collusion. Russian officials have repeatedly denied interfering in US politics and said Mueller's report provides no evidence to support allegations that Russia interfered in the US political system.
