On Nov. 20, President Donald Trump’s legal team announced he’d submitted his written answers to FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating possible collusion between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia. But just nine days later on Nov. 29, Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney, pleaded guilty to lying to Congress during one of its many investigations into the matter. Representatives for Cohen declined to comment to Elite Daily on the subject. While the president lashed out over the drama on Thursday, his eldest son Donald Trump Jr.’s response to Cohen’s guilty plea has been all but nonexistent.
Both Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. have stayed remarkably quiet on the Cohen deal on social media since the news, with the first daughter tweeting mostly about the G20 summit in Argentina. The president’s eldest son, on the other hand, has stuck mostly to retweets in the past few days, and there may be good reason that he’s kept quiet about this situation.
The court filing of Cohen’s plea on Thursday stated that Cohen admitted to lying to the Senate Intelligence Committee during his testimony by saying that discussions regarding a deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow had ceased in January 2016. He admitted Thursday that they actually continued into June 2016, well after the 2016 presidential election cycle had gotten underway and Trump Sr. had been named the presumptive Republican nominee.
