President Donald Trump knew in advance about a June 2016 meeting between his aides and a Russian delegation offering to help his election campaign, his former attorney Michael Cohen has claimed.
The president has long denied having any knowledge of the meeting before it took place.
However, Cohen has said that is simply not true, claiming he was present when Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., told his father about the planned meeting.
Cohen is also reportedly willing to give his statement to Special Counsel Robert Mueller as part of his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, according to reports from CNN and NBC.
