President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.
Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations. “Make it happen,” the sources said Trump told Cohen.
And even as Trump told the public he had no business deals with Russia, the sources said Trump and his children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., received regular, detailed updates about the real estate development from Cohen, whom they put in charge of the project.
Now the two sources have told BuzzFeed News that Cohen also told the special counsel that after the election, the president personally instructed him to lie — by claiming that negotiations ended months earlier than they actually did — in order to obscure Trump’s involvement.
ETC...

No, the lying lawyer accused Trump of lying.
Whatever.
As I understand that project died from deal fatigue.
Says the lying weasel attorney who padded his out-of-pocket expenses he submitted to Trump's company, and pocketed the extra money. How many other clients did he bilk money from? Those two online polls he wanted rigged starting in 2014, weren't successful, and he never followed through on the business connections he'd promised, nor paid the guy the actual amount agreed upon. So he screwed him out of money too. With friends like Cohen, who needs enemies. What a pathetic piece of work...just trying to get himself a sentence reduction by lying about crap that can't be proven. Yeah, this guy is a real credible, reliable source of honesty...ain't he?
NR’s David French and others are making a deal about it, “if true”, lighting up twitter now.
And the two “federal law enforcement officials” cited as sources were...Strzok and McCabe??
It's not as if we didn't know this was coming from the Adam Schiff-for-Brains No-Intelligence Committee.
When each and every claim they make against President Trump goes asunder, they come up with yet another one to throw against the wall. Their arms must be getting tired from all that throwing.
You are incorrect. It does not quote Cohen at all. Smarten up. Recognize fake news when its put in front of your face
100 percent total bs coming from liar Cohen
A whole lot o’ nuffin’.
Time for some real news not BS TDS posing as news:
Gregg Jarrett: Mueller’s team knew ‘dossier’ kicking off Trump investigation was biased and defectiv

Prosecutors on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team investigating alleged “collusion” between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia knew all along that the anti-Trump “dossier” compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele that fueled their probe was biased and likely phony.
Yet instead of investigating those individuals at the FBI and Justice Department who actively participated in the dossier fraud – as he should have done – Mueller hired several of them to investigate Trump.
Newly confirmed congressional testimony of former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr shows that he warned both the FBI and the Justice Department that Steele was “desperate that Donald Trump not get elected.”
This conspicuous bias should have been enough to deposit the dossier – a series of memos from Steele – into the nearest trash can. But top FBI and Justice Department officials were determined to damage or destroy President Trump. So they ignored Steele’s patent prejudice and sought to exploit his dubious document – despite Ohr saying of the dossier: “I don’t know how reliable it is.”
These same FBI and Justice Department officials also deliberately disregarded the source of Steele’s funding –Trump’s political opponent, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
And incredibly, the officials concealed all of this vital information from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) Court in obtaining a warrant to spy on a Trump campaign associate. But that’s not all. They used the Steele report to launch the original Trump-Russia “collusion” investigation.
The sordid scheme began on July 5, 2016 – the very day Clinton was cleared of mishandling classified documents by FBI Director James Comey.
As Comey was twisting the facts and contorting the law to absolve Clinton, an FBI agent was meeting secretly in London with Steele, who had composed the first of his memos.

Well Clinton had Monica sign an affidavit in the Paula Jones case they didn’t have sex.
Was Clinton impeached for that?
“Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations.”
Sure, I believe this. You can’t build a hotel in Russia without the President of Russia personally approving. And Cohen was respected enough that he personally could just call Moscow and get a meeting with Putin. /s
One word, but I always like to hear her say that.
President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.
Which is it? Do they have tape recordings, or is it he said/he said?
What is this according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter cr@p?
It appears the difference between God and 'federal law enforcement officers,' is that God doesn't think he's a 'federal law enforcement officer.'
What’s the Penalty for Rigging the “News” These Days?

Read the reality not the bs behind this fake news post~!
Actually he encouraged her to lie about this and she later signed an affidavit.
Was Clinton impeached for that?
Yes. That formed part of one of the Articles of Impeachment.
Probably got this story from the same place they got the fake Russian dossier.
But he wasn’t convicted for it in the U S Senate though was he?
