“President Trump’s recollection of discussions about building a Trump Tower in Moscow aligned with those of his longtime fixer Michael Cohen, the president’s lawyers said on Thursday after Mr. Cohen admitted in court that he had pursued the project as Mr. Trump secured the Republican nomination for president,” the New York Times reports.
“The president knew about the deal and discussed it with Mr. Cohen before it fell apart, Mr. Trump’s lawyers said. Mr. Trump detailed those conversations last week in written responses to investigators for the special counsel investigating Russia’s 2016 election interference, Robert Mueller. Prosecutors had sought to question Mr. Trump for months and eventually agreed to accept written answers for some queries.”
