Trump Lawyers Claim His Statements to Mueller About Moscow Tower Project Match What Cohen Said

President Donald Trump‘s legal team is now claiming that President Donald Trump‘s written response to Robert Mueller about the Moscow tower discussions matches what Michael Cohen said.

Cohen has admitted to lying about how long discussions about the project went on––the discussions continued well into the 2016 campaign. But according to the New York Times, Trump’s lawyers––particularly Rudy Giuliani––are insisting Trump’s answer lines up with his:

President Trump’s recollection of discussions about building a Trump Tower in Moscow aligned with those of his longtime fixer Michael D. Cohen, the president’s lawyers said on Thursday… 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 S. Mueller III. Prosecutors had sought to question Mr. Trump for months and eventually agreed to accept written answers for some queries.

“The president said there was a proposal, it was discussed with Cohen, there was a nonbinding letter of intent and it didn’t go beyond that,” said one of Mr. Trump’s lawyers, Rudolph W. Giuliani

He also told the Times that Trump was reportedly not asked about “the timing of his discussions with Mr. Cohen about the project.”

Giuliani again trashed Cohen as a liar to the Times, saying, “Cohen has just told us he’s a liar. Given the fact that he’s a liar, I can’t tell you what he’s lying about.”
