Trump maintains that the Moscow building deal was very public and that even if he had decided to go through with the deal, that there would have been nothing wrong with it.
The audio cuts out in the video above at one point but then it picks back up soon thereafter.
Here’s more from Trump on it:
"Here is the thing, even if [Michael Cohen] was right, it doesn't matter, because I was allowed to do whatever I wanted during the campaign," President Trump says after his former attorney pleaded guilty to making false statements https://t.co/vEE5vZwqpw pic.twitter.com/3X8DVKnitv

He was asked point blank if he was worried about all of this in another clip that I can’t put my hands on yet, and Trump said that he’s definitely not worried about Cohen.
