Kate Brannen @K8brannen 1h1 hour agoCohen "briefed family members of Individual 1" about the Moscow Project.
Note the plural: Don Jr.? Jared? Ivanka? Eric?
Vox:
According to a court filing from special counsel Robert Mueller, Cohen told Congress in August 2017 that discussion of a Trump development project in Moscow ended in January 2016, but discussions about it in fact continued as late as approximately June 2016 the same month as the infamous Trump Tower meeting between top Trump campaign officials and a Kremlin-connected lawyer who promised to provide them with dirt on Hillary Clinton.
The filing also indicates Cohen discussed the deal directly with Trump more than three times, briefed his family members about it, and agreed to travel to Russia in connection with the Moscow Project and took steps in contemplation of Individual 1s possible travel to Russia. (Individual 1 is Trump.)
I made these statements to be consistent with Individual 1s political messaging and to be loyal to Individual 1, Cohen reportedly said in court...

It seems to me that from this release Cohen mentions a #2 as well as briefing #1's family members. Either way, Jr is on the hook for lying to Congress and we should be hearing more about this in 3....2.....
On edit: it appears that Felix Sater is #2 and Jr is #1's family member he spoke with

Or, maybe Felix Sater would be a better one.

What Donald Trump Jr told Congress about Moscow Tower deal
Note Michael Cohen plea: "briefed family members...within the Company about the project"
Don Jr to Senate:
Sater worked on deal "in 2015"
"I wasn't involved"
Were you aware Cohen reached out to Kremlin? "No, I was not"

I wonder if he has formally answered any questions yet.
There is no way that Manafort's handpicked VP is not involved in all of this.
