CNN is reporting that Michael Cohen will indeed flip on el Trumpo and say he lied about that meeting with Russians at Trump Tower.
Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, claims that then-candidate Trump knew in advance about the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower in which Russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton, sources with knowledge tell CNN. Cohen is willing to make that assertion to special counsel Robert Mueller, the sources said.
Cohen’s claim would contradict repeated denials by Trump, Donald Trump Jr., their lawyers and other administration officials who have said that the President knew nothing about the Trump Tower meeting until he was approached about it by The New York Times in July 2017.
Cohen alleges that he was present, along with several others, when Trump was informed of the Russians’ offer by Trump Jr. By Cohen’s account, Trump approved going ahead with the meeting with the Russians, according to sources.
To be clear, these sources said Cohen does not have evidence, such as audio recordings, to corroborate his claim, but he is willing to attest to his account.
Ohhnoooes, no evidence? You mean the guy who might be under threat of prosecution and who admits to shady dealings to paying off his bosses’ mistresses is going to testify based on his word alone? Hmmmm. I see problems.
Maybe that’s why Mueller is sifting through Trump’s tweets to try to bolster his case. If this is all he’s got, then it ain’t much.
UPDATE:
Just as I indicated above, Michael Cohen’s weakness is being pressed by Giuliani on CNN, who says he’s hopelessly unreliable.
