by Josh Feldman | Nov 29th, 2018, 2:40 pm
President Donald Trumps legal team is now claiming that President Donald Trumps written response to Robert Mueller about the Moscow tower discussions matches what Michael Cohen said.
Cohen has admitted to lying about how long discussions about the project went onthe discussions continued well into the 2016 campaign. But according to the New York Times, Trumps lawyersparticularly Rudy Giulianiare insisting Trumps answer lines up with his:
President Trumps recollection of discussions about building a Trump Tower in Moscow aligned with those of his longtime fixer Michael D. Cohen, the presidents lawyers said on Thursday
The president knew about the deal and discussed it with Mr. Cohen before it fell apart, Mr. Trumps lawyers said. Mr. Trump detailed those conversations last week in written responses to investigators for the special counsel investigating Russias 2016 election interference, Robert S. Mueller III. Prosecutors had sought to question Mr. Trump for months and eventually agreed to accept written answers for some queries.
The president said there was a proposal, it was discussed with Cohen, there was a nonbinding letter of intent and it didnt go beyond that, said one of Mr. Trumps lawyers, Rudolph W. Giuliani

He also told the Times that Trump was reportedly not asked about the timing of his discussions with Mr. Cohen about the project.
Giuliani again trashed Cohen as a liar to the Times, saying, Cohen has just told us hes a liar. Given the fact that hes a liar, I cant tell you what hes lying about.
