Trump again calls Cohen a liar after bombshell BuzzFeed report

President Trump on Friday again accused his former personal attorney Michael Cohen of lying to reduce his prison time, after BuzzFeed News reported that federal investigators have evidence he directed Cohen to lie to Congress about plans to build a Trump property in Moscow.

Trump, after quoting a Fox News reporter noting that Cohen had been convicted on perjury and fraud charges, tweeted that Cohen is "lying to reduce his jail time."

Trump also suggested Cohen's father-in-law be "watched," echoing previous comments he made to Fox News' Jeanine Pirro that Cohen "should give information maybe on his father-in-law, because that's the one that people want to look at."

BuzzFeed, citing two federal law enforcement officials, reported late Thursday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has witness testimony, internal Trump Organization emails, and other evidence suggesting Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress about the Trump Moscow plans. Cohen has also reportedly testified to the special counsel that Trump told him to lie.

No refutation. Just attacks on the source. Seems like a pretty strong positive data point to me.
