Good evening:

Cohen’s claim would contradict repeated denials by Trump, Donald Trump Jr., their lawyers and other administration officials who have said that the President knew nothing about the Trump Tower meeting until he was approached about it by The New York Times in July 2017.

Former Mother Jones reporter Adam Serwer says that if this is true it is bad news bears for the White House.

If Cohen is telling the truth it’s not only the president dead to rights on attempting to seek aid from Moscow against his opponent—it’s perjury for anyone who testified otherwise to Congress https://t.co/lySWp8ybUD
