Why does the latest bombshell story in the Russia investigation matter? One of the reasons is clear when you look at a timeline of events.

President Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen admitted, as he pleaded guilty Thursday, that discussions of a Moscow Trump Tower project had continued until June 2016, five months before the election. Cohen had previously said they ended in January 2016.

That would mean that millions of Americans cast ballots in primaries without knowing that the candidate they favored was secretly pursuing a project in Moscow.

In a criminal information, or charging document, filed with Cohen’s guilty plea, federal prosecutors said Cohen made false statements to Congress to “minimize links between the Moscow Project and [Trump] and . . . give the false impression that the Moscow Project ended before ‘the Iowa caucus and . . . the very first primary,’ in hopes of limiting the ongoing Russia investigations.”

The sanctions were imposed by the United States, the European Union and other countries and international organizations against individuals, businesses and officials from Russia and Ukraine.
