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 Trumps involvement.
ETC...

THIS IS IT! WE GOT THE ORANGE MAN NOW!
Says the lying weasel attorney. Yeah, hes credible.
Even if Legitimate, the sources wouldnt go to buzzfeed over bombshell news they would go to the NYT, Washington Post and CNN.
Proof or it didn’t happen.
this clown is hilarious. Instead of getting his ass ready to be raped in jail for 3 yrs, he’s going after his old boss..
Eric Holder is President Trump’s lawyer???
Uh...prove it.
Liar lying about being directed to lie.
Cohen = b.s.
Notice another “leak” to try to create a fake weekend news narrative - when everyone is laughing at Dems on the bus to nowhere.
What a ludicrous case.
As Michael Cohen transforms suddenly into the most honest and ethical guy in America...
Unless there are the tapes to back this up, it is he said vs. he said.
Mr Cohen, have you ever been convicted of lying to an investigator or court?
(yes)
are you lying now? if not, why should be believe you?
Now the lying media is resurrecting an absurd narrative from 2016, namely that Trump got into politics, not to be President but to help his real estate business, and to help his brand. Yeah, that’s it, Trump ran for President, so that if elected he could use all his influence to get good terms for building a hotel in Moscow - yeah, that’s the ticket!
These lies got stale a long time ago. They're hoping to all hell any fairy tale they make up sticks.
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
Under oath?
Hearsay evidence? Where is the proof?
Buzzfeed is lower than a tabloid.
