At Michael Cohen's initial meeting with the SCO on AUG 7, 2018 – which Cohen requested – he voluntarily provided info relevant to other aspects of the SCO’s ongoing investigation, but provided false answers when asked about the Moscow Project.

From the Mueller filing: Michael Cohen explained that he did not pursue the proposed meeting in Russia [via Felix Sater] because he was working on the Moscow Project with a different individual who had his own connections to the Russian government.

HERE the submission from SDNY prosecutors [separate from the filing from special counsel Mueller's office] calling for a "substantial term of imprisonment" for Michael Cohen, and "to impose forfeiture in the amount of $500,000, and a fine."

SDNY: Information Michael Cohen provided to NY AG & NY State Dept of Taxation was useful only to the extent that he corroborated information already known. Fulfilling that basic legal responsibility voluntarily does not warrant a reduced sentence.

Mueller filing: Around NOV 2015, Michael Cohen spoke with a Russian national who claimed to be a “trusted person” in the Russian Federation & offered the Trump campaign “political synergy on a government level” and a meeting between Individual 1 [TRUMP] and Putin.

-Certain *discrete Russia-related matters core to SCO investigation* that he obtained by regular contact with Trump Org execs during the campaign

As early as NOV 2015, the Russian government offered the Trump campaign “political synergy” and a meeting for Trump with Putin which could have “phenomenal” impact politically and “in a business dimension as well” [referring to the Moscow Project].

Mueller filing: Michael Cohen admitted that despite his previous denials, he HAD conferred with TRUMP about contacting the Russian govt before his suggestion during a SEP 2015 radio interview that TRUMP meet with Putin in NYC during his visit for the UN General Assembly.

It seems, Ivanka's Russian weightlifter, Dmitry Klokov, is the “trusted person” in the Russian Federation who in NOV 2015 offered Michael Cohen & the Trump campaign “political synergy” with Russia and a meeting between Individual 1 [TRUMP] & Putin.
