WASHINGTON The Justice Department special counsel has evidence that Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and confidant, Michael Cohen, secretly made a late-summer trip to Prague during the 2016 presidential campaign, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Confirmation of the trip would lend credence to a retired British spy’s report that Cohen strategized there with a powerful Kremlin figure about Russian meddling in the U.S. election.
It would also be one of the most significant developments thus far in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of whether the Trump campaign and the Kremlin worked together to help Trump win the White House. Undercutting Trump’s repeated pronouncements that “there is no evidence of collusion,” it also could ratchet up the stakes if the president tries, as he has intimated he might for months, to order Mueller’s firing.

OK wait!!!! Cohen lies about where he was in 2016 and somehow THIS is grounds to impeach the President?
WTF are you smoking?
More B.S. It was a different Cohen - same name, same date of birth, but from a different country. Plenty of people know Cohen, the lawyer for Trump, know he was in Los Angeles at the time.
That was actually debunked a year ago. So what is this McClatchy paper doing just now? Were they skunked by some deep stater, or are they just trying to stir the public angst pot.
...So BuzzFeed News asked to see the inside pages. He said yes. We have pictures.
The passport shows Cohen has traveled the globe since 2009, the year the document was issued. There is no stamp showing Cohen visited the Czech Republic.
“Nope. Never been,” he said in an interview on Tuesday. The Wall Street Journal reported in January that he had visited Prague once before, in 2001...
ie Groucho and Harpo; famous Marxists.
Undoubtedly Cohen’s passport doesn’t show he was in Prague. Might he have been there otherwise? Sure—if he and one or more foreign governments wanted to hide his tracks.
I don’t think we know enough from this report to conclude that he was, however.
His passports records also indicate he did not leave or enter the US during the time period claimed by the dossier. May Bush Sr. flew him surreptitiously in a military jet.
Agreed.
Certainly the US has plenty of people coming in and out of it every day, without an updating of their passports.
And yes, plenty who could have helped get it accomplished both coming and going.
Doesn’t mean it happened. Could have. We really don’t know.
It’s been a while, but I remember my passport being scanned entering and leaving the USA. Matters not if there is a visible stamp. The government knows.
Wake up—people go in and countries without having their passports scanned all the time.
Trump’s Cohen was at a USC football game with his son that day with over 100 witnesses.
The fake news media, at it again.
And this proves Mueller works for Trump?
