BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith said Friday that he stands by the outlet's reporting following a rare statement from special counsel Robert Mueller's office disputing its report about allegations against Michael Cohen, President Trump's former lawyer.
"We stand by our reporting and the sources who informed it, and we urge the Special Counsel to make clear what he's disputing," Smith said in a statement.
BuzzFeed reported Thursday that Trump instructed Cohen to lie to Congress about the timing of negotiations over a potential Trump Tower in Moscow.
The story cited two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.
Mueller's office rarely comments on stories related to the special counsel's investigation into potential collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia during the 2016 election.
“BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate,” special counsel spokesman Peter Carr said in a statement obtained by The Hill on Friday night.
Buzzfeed or their hero Mueller?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Even Mueller is telling them they’re full of crap.
LMAO! Fake news calling Mueller a liar. Pass the popcorn!
Who the hell gives a Dann what they stand by? You have to have had credibility in order to lose it.
Deep state traitors still at work undermining the executive branch.
Nothing like Democrats turning on each other. To call it schadenfreude is too rich for words.
What is your obsession with “The Hill” of trash? Notice that they are trying to prop up the fake news Buzzfeed. Why post that here? It doesn’t matter if they disputed it, Mueller said they were lying.
LOL CNN and MSNBC are already attacking Mueller..wait til the final report comes out which will show NO Trump collusion with Russia..its gonna be like when the left went after Comey, calling for his firing..but when Trump fired him Comey became a hero to the left
this tell me that their sources are well-recognized serious deep-staters
Buzzfeed claiming Mueller’s band of 17 Angry Democrats have got it wrong.
You hafta see to believe it.
Yup...Deepstaters from the mueller coup.
Per Buzzfeed,”Mueller should ‘make clear what he’s disputing’”
Are they all morons at Buzzfeed?
Mueller doesn’t have to make anything clear,Buzzfeed does——they started the whole thing.

Who to believe? Fink Cohen or St Mueller.
A difficult dilemma for Democrats and Never Trumpers. Oh the agony!
Yeah, I believe Buttfeed LOL. If anyone who actually has been inside their offices, I’m UNFORTUNATELY one of them.
Buncha sanctimonious p*ssies. If strangulation wasn’t murder, i would have choked their president on the spot. Yes, I was in a meeting with this clown in Hollywood a few months back right after the report came out their were lying their asses...
Someone(s) in the Mueller coup leaked this story to BuzzFeed.
It’s liar vs liar.
Buzzfeed is undermining Mueller.
Buzzfeed started the whole thing by publishing it——now they have to finish it by naming their sources and proving what they claimed.
The ball is in their hands.
