After new Cohen plea today, President Trump asserts that Cohen is lying to get a reduced sentence, and he decided not to do the Moscow project, but there would have been "nothing wrong" if he did do it because "that was my business."
In rebuttal to Cohen plea, Trump lawyer Giuliani says that Cohen is "a proven liar who is doing everything he can to get out of a long-term prison sentence."
