Mike Conaway and Adam Schiff, the top committee Republican and Democrat overseeing the House investigation, said in a joint statement.
The special counsel overseeing the government's investigation into possible Trump campaign ties to Russian Federation has approved former FBI Director James Comey testifying before the Senate intelligence committee, according to a Comey associate.
Mueller's is a criminal investigation, which has been granted wide power to pursue leads wherever they might go.
Kushner is under scrutiny in the FBI's Russian Federation probe. Mueller was appointed as special counsel by Deputy Attorney Rod Rosenstein on May 17.
The leaders of the committee said last week that they also meant to issue subpoenas for records of two of Flynn's companies, Flynn Intel LLC and Flynn Intel Inc.
Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has agreed to turn over information to a Senate panel looking into possible meddling by Russian Federation in the 2016 election, according to sources.
The subpoena for Cohen comes as the congressional investigations into ties between the Trump campaign and Russian Federation advance beyond formal requests for information from Trump associates.
The subpoenas were issued for two companies Flynn owns, Flynn Intel Group Inc. and Flynn Intel Group LLC. He stepped down from the Russian Federation investigation in April after the House Ethics Committee said it had opened an inquiry into whether he had improperly disclosed classified information. But authorized USA officials can request that the names be revealed to them - a process known as "unmasking" - if knowing the name is necessary to understand the intelligence.

Former President Barack Obama pledged $3 billion to help poorer countries like China and India to reduce their emissions. Almost 200 countries are part of the accord and have agreed to fight global warming by reducing carbon emissions.
Names of certain Trump campaign officials were allegedly unmasked, or revealed, in classified intelligence reports regarding their communication with Russian agents. And in a Tuesday tweet he charged: "Russian officials must be laughing at the U.S. & how a lame excuse for why the Dems lost the election has taken over the Fake News".
The subpoenas were expected to be delivered to retired Army General Michael Flynn, who was sacked as national security adviser by Trump in February, and the president's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, the sources said.
Flynn's private interactions with the committee.
A dossier compiled by a British spy contends that Cohen met with a Russian official about Democratic hacking in Prague, though Cohen has denied the allegations and the dossier is unconfirmed.
"I think the president should step aside from any comments, any tweets on the investigation and focus on the agenda that he ran on", Duffy said on CNN. This is not surprising to me because there is none!
Cohen, a confidant of Trump who was also a spokesman during the campaign, called the requests "poorly phrased, overly broad, and not capable of being answered".
Flynn had previously declined the committee's invitation to speak with them and provide documents on the issue. The initial batch is due by June 6, a person close to Flynn said Tuesday. Flynn will also provide personal documents sought via a separate subpoena after Senate investigators narrowed the scope of the request.
