THREAD: Michael Cohen’s guilty plea directly implicates President Trump and raises serious questions about whether he has been honest with the American people about his ties to Russia.
Cohen admitted to working with Russian government officials on a real estate deal for Trump, and doing so well into the presidential campaign. Cohen also admitted to briefing Trump and his family repeatedly about the status of the Trump Tower Moscow project.
I have sent multiple requests for documents and interviews to Michael Cohen, Felix Sater and others involved in Trump’s business dealings with Russia. We have received some useful information in response, including a number of the documents mentioned in today’s court filing.
However, it’s clear we have not received all the information that’s responsive. I urge my colleagues across the aisle to step up, and join us in completing our Committee’s investigation and in protecting the Special Counsel.
