According to BuzzFeed News, Trump told Michael Cohen to lie to Congress, and wanted to set up a meeting with Vladimir Putin during the campaign.
When Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress in November 2018, the Mueller team provided a memo saying he had given them “credible” and “useful” information, an understatement just now coming to light. According to a report from BuzzFeed News, President Trump told his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about his intentions to build Trump Tower Moscow, and that Trump had signed off on a plan to visit Russia during the 2016 campaign to meet with Vladimir Putin and expedite the construction process. Sources alleged that Trump told Cohen to “Make it happen.”
The new report provides another high-profile contradiction between the public statements of the Trump camp and the evidence that Mueller is amassing.
