At a court hearing in Manhattan on Thursday,
Cohen pleaded guilty to a criminal charge, admitting that he’d made false statements to Congress about his efforts to pursue a Trump Tower deal in Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Cohen’s guilty plea Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York marks the latest twist in Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016
election and whether the president obstructed justice.
Cohen
reportedly told the court that discussions about a Trump Tower real estate project in Moscow continued into June 2016 and that Trump and his family members had been briefed about it multiple times.
Earlier, Cohen had falsely told the House intelligence committee that the discussions ended in January 2016.
Trump has repeatedly denied that he had any financial
ties to Russia during his 2016 campaign, and has vehemently dismissed the suggestion that there was any collusion between his campaign and the Kremlin.
“Russia has never tried to use leverage over me,” Trump
tweeted in January 2017, days before he was inaugurated as president. “I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO
DEALS, NO
LOANS, NO NOTHING!”
That was a lie. No? Or do you just not care how much Trump lies?
