He said that he had no ties to foreign entities by signing a document where he put "NA" where it asked for them. Then in testimony he said that he had 2.
Well lets look at the actual transcript and see what he actually said because as you well know Lying scum POS Meadows changed what the disclosure form said from "foreign GOVERNMENT" to "foreign ENTITY:"
Meadows: “I’m going to back to the question I asked before with regards to your false statement that you submitted to Congress. On here it was very clear that it asks for contracts with foreign entities over the last two years. Have you had any foreign contracts with
foreign entities whether it’s Novartis or the Korean Airline or Kazakhstan BTA bank? Your testimony earlier said that you had contracts with them. In fact, you went into detail.”
Cohen: “Sir, I believe it talks about lobbying. “No, I did no lobbying, and on top of that they are not government…”
Meadows: “I’m not asking about lobbying, Mr. Cohen,”
Cohen: “
They are not government agencies, they are privately and publicly traded companies.”
Meadows: “Did you have foreign contracts over the last two years?”
Cohen: “Foreign contracts?”
Meadows: “Contracts with
foreign entities?”
Cohen: “Yes.“
Meadows: “Why didn’t you put them on the form, it says it’s a criminal offense to not put them on this form, for the last two years, why did you not do that?”
Cohen: “Because those foreign companies that you’re referring to are not government companies,”
Meadows: “
It says non-governmental, Mr. Cohen, you signed it,
Cohen: “
They’re talking about me as being non-governmental,”
Meadows: “It says foreign agency, it says foreign contracts, do you want us to read it to you?”
Cohen: “I read it and it was reviewed by my counsel, and I am a non-government employee who is not lobbying, and they are not foreign countries,”
Meadows: “This has nothing to do with lobbying, it says it’s a criminal offense to not list all your foreign contracts. That’s what it says,”
Cohen: “Well then I’m going to take a look at it before I leave and hopefully I will amend it prior to leaving, because that’s not the way I read your document,”
Meadows: “You know, it’s just one more example of, Mr. Cohen, of you skirting the truth,”
From the Truth In Testimony Disclosure form:

originating with a foreign government and related to the hearing’s subject matter that you or the organization(s) you represent at this hearing received in the current year and previous two calendar years. Include the amount and country of origin of each contract or payment.
