Yesterday, Michael Cohen directly implicated the president in a conspiracy to influence the 2016 election involving paying off Trump’s former mistresses. (2/8) washingtonpost.com/world/national…
According to his lawyer, Cohen also “has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest” to Mueller, and he’s “more than happy to tell the special counsel” all he knows about collusion. (3/8) nbcnews.com/politics/white…
With that in mind, here are four Russia-related questions Cohen can answer: (4/8) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/four-…
1. Did he travel to Prague?
When the Steele dossier came out, Cohen denied its allegation that he traveled there and even sued Buzzfeed over it—only to drop the case right around the time McClatchy reported he may have gone there after all. (5/8) politico.com/story/2018/04/…

2. What did Trump know about the June 9 meeting?

3. What was really going on with the Trump Tower Moscow project?
There are lots of outstanding questions, from when he and Felix Sater stopped pursuing it to why Sater said they could “engineer” Trump's election by completing it. (7/8) themoscowproject.org/dispatch/four-…

4. What does Trump owe Russian oligarchs?
Cohen’s work with Trump, including in the former Soviety Union, means he knows more about the Trump Organization than almost anybody. His answers in that realm would almost certainly be useful to Mueller. (8/8) newyorker.com/news/news-desk…
