💥 Trump Directed His Attorney To Lie To Congress About The Moscow Tower Project - Trump received 10 personal updates from Michael Cohen & encouraged a planned meeting with Vladimir Putin, by @JasonLeopold @a_cormier_
buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
"Cohen's testimony marks a significant new frontier: It is the first known example of Trump explicitly telling a subordinate to lie directly about his own dealings with Russia."
buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
Per two law enforcement sources the special counsel’s office office learned Trump directed Cohen to lie through interviews with multiple Trump Org witnesses and through internal emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents
buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
The story that Trump asked Cohen to lie is big - and @RepAdamSchiff is on it!
With new evidence Trump was more involved w/Trump Tower than previously reported - @grantstern raises an important question - Did Russian developers give Trump a $1 million payment on the Moscow Trump Tower contract?

Last year I broke a story about a NYC building deal involving Felix Sater in Dec 2015 while he was negotiating Trump Tower Moscow, but owner of the LLC Sater represented was unknown, today @ScottMStedman found in a letter published by @BuzzFeedNews that Andrey Rozov was the owner
Here's my Oct '18 story about Felix Sater & accountant Ilya Bykov (linked to Aras Agalarov) who represented the owner of 22 W 38th St in a deal that made $8 mil in one year - it turns out the owner is Andrey Rozov, the developer for Trump Tower Moscow

Here's the letter published in a @BuzzFeedNews story today by @azeen written by IC Expert's Andrey Rozov to Michael Cohen in Sept 2015 which says "I also own a 12 story office building in Manhattan at 22 West 38th Street, which I acquired last December..."

SCCOP: Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the Moscow Tower Project. Trump knew Cohen was speaking to Kremlin officials about the deal and even told Cohen to plan a Russia trip during the campaign so Trump could meet with Putin.

SCOOP: Cohen told Mueller that after the election, Trump PERSONALLY instructed him to lie to Congress by claiming the Moscow Tower negotiations ended months earlier than they actually did to obscure Trump’s involvement.

Breaking: President Trump Directed His Attorney To Lie To Congress About The Moscow Tower Project. Trump received 10 personal updates from Michael Cohen and encouraged a planned meeting with Vladimir Putin.

"The special counsel’s office learned about Trump’s directive for Cohen to lie to Congress through interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents" buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
Remember this part when Republicans dismiss claims made by Cohen, noting that he's a known liar. There were multiple witnesses & there is a paper trail...

‼️“Make it Happen!”—Trump Directed Attorney Michael Cohen To Lie To Congress About The Moscow Tower Project & Visit…even as Trump told the public he had no business deals with Russia. Ivanka & Don Jr received regular detailed updates from Cohen on deal. buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
After the election, Trump personally & explicitly instructed Cohen to lie about Moscow Tower negotiations ending early in order to obscure Trump’s involvement. Mueller has witness testimony & company emails, text messages, other docs.
#Obstruction #SuborningPerjury #ImpeachTrump
FYI Barr memo on Mueller probe: "Obviously…if a President knowingly…suborns perjury, or induces a witness to change testimony, or commits any act deliberately impairing the integrity…of evidence, then he…commits the crime of obstruction," #OBVIOUSLY #Obstruction #Impeachment

BOOM: Trump received 10 personal updates about the Trump Tower Moscow project from Michael Cohen and encouraged a planned meeting with Vladimir Putin, @JasonLeopold & @a_cormier_ report. buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
MORE: Cohen has told Mueller that Trump personally told him (Cohen) to lie to Congress, information backed about by other interviews and documents, per sources. buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
This is key for when you hear Trump's defenders saying that Cohen is a "proven liar," or similar things.

Schiff:

👉🏼The collusion evolution, by RG:

📌There was no collusion.

📌Even if there was collusion, it‘s not a crime.

📌Truth isn’t truth.

📌It happened a long time ago.

📌I never said there was no collusion.

📌I said no collusion...with the POTUS

📌Oops!
🐝Buzzzz2🐝

📌Giuliani just contradicted nearly all the TeamTrump’s past collusion denials

📌This is the 10th time the denials have been watered down & might be the most significant rollback.

📌Cohen Hired IT RedFinch Solutions to Rig Early CNBC, Drudge Polls to Favor Trump

📌ZT:”Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom — the law firm that Paul Manafort hired as part of his work for Ukraine — has reached a settlement with DOJ, agreeing to register retroactively as a foreign agent & pay $4.6M (the money it earned for that work)”
