BREAKING: Michael Cohen, who's serving a three-year prison sentence, privately told lawmakers that Trump's current attorney asked him to falsely testify to Congress that negotiations to build a Trump Tower Moscow ended on January 31, 2016
Michael Cohen told lawmakers earlier this year that one of President Donald Trump's personal attorneys asked him to falsely testify to Congress and told him the president was considering granting him a pardon to “shut down” the Russia investigation, according to transcripts released Monday of Cohen’s two interviews with the House Intelligence Committee.
To bolster his claim, Cohen described overhearing Trump Jr. tell his father about the meeting before it took place.documents to the House committee showing that Sekulow edited Cohen’s false 2017 testimony about the Trump Tower Moscow project. And when asked by Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff in March whether Sekulow knew that Cohen’s “statement about the Trump Tower negotiations ending in January that was part of your original draft was false,” Cohen replied: “Yes, sir.
Sekulow notably declined to share his side of the story with special counsel Robert Mueller, who revealed his efforts to probe the matter in an extensive redacted 448-page report released last month. According to emails Cohen shared with the panel, Costello wrote that Giuliani saw the “communication channel” as crucial, and told Cohen to “sleep well tonight, you have friends in high places.” Cohen told Congress he believed Costello was referring to Trump.
Cohen said the interaction between father and son was “odd” because normally Trump Jr. “would shout it from the door or he would call his father from the phone.” The House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena for Trump’s financial records from an accounting firm, stemming from Cohen’s claim that Trump artificially inflated and deflated the values of his assets to suit his financial benefit. On Monday a federal judge ruled in House Democrats’ favor and broadly upheld Congress’ authority to investigate Trump’s conduct.
