Michael Cohen Pleads Guilty For Lying About Trump Tower In Moscow

  • 5 years ago
According to Reuters, Michael Cohen pleaded guilty for lying to Congress about a proposed Trump Tower in Moscow.
Cohen entered his guilty plea in open court in Manhattan to one count of making false statements to two congressional panels about the project.
Court documents indicate that Cohen also briefed Donald Trump on the project more than three times before he was elected president.
Cohen initially told Congress that discussions over the tower ended by January 2016, before the Iowa caucuses.
But now Cohen says that those discussions continued until June, 2016, after Trump became the presumptive Republican presidential nomination.
