COHEN PREPARED TO TELL MUELLER TRUMP LIED ABOUT RUSSIAN LAWYER MEETING: REPORTS

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.

Cohen said that his longtime client and friend, republican misleader Dirty Donny*, actually told the truth about the meeting. The odds of that are below zero, as the republicans have repeatedly demonstrated with the steady beat of their deceit.

right before that meeting took place. Don't forget that little nugget of circumstantial evidence.
