Published Thursday, February 28, 2019 7:29AM ESTIn matter-of-fact testimony, the former Trump lawyer drew a troubling picture of his former boss, saying the president lied to the American public on matters big and small.
About two months later, Cohen says he had contact with Trump or one of his representatives. But Cohen declined to say more because he says the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York is investigating the matter.Last year, Cohen implicated Trump in a crime, saying he directed him to violate campaign finance laws. But Justice Department legal opinions say a sitting president can't be indicted.
It's not immediately clear what evidence Cohen has to support the allegation or how legally problematic this claim might be for Trump. Cohen says Weisselberg decided that reimbursements to Cohen should be spread out over 12 months to "hide what the payment was."Trump signed at least one of the reimbursement checks. Weisselberg and Donald Trump Jr. signed at least one other.
So another words the same people complain about it in the last two years we’ve heard this before HillaryClinton is still not President. Get over it
Nothing about the dossier being debunked again? Cohen was never in Prague and also claimed he’s never seen evidence of Russian collusion
