Cohen also implicated *Trump Family Members*!
https://www.justsecurity.org/61671/major-takeaways-michael-cohen-plea-trump-moscow-project/The court documents released Thursday make clear that Cohen worked on the Moscow Project on behalf of the Trump Organization into the summer of 2016, far longer than he previously admitted. He discussed the project repeatedly with then-candidate Trump and Trump’s “family members.” Cohen was intending to travel to Moscow to discuss the project with Russian government officials in June 2016 and raised the possibility of Trump traveling to Russia during the campaign with the presidential candidate himself. Finally, Cohen exchanged emails and phone calls with members of the Russian government about pursuing the deal.

Trump withheld material information about his business interests in Russia from the American people at a critical time during the campaign.

Finally, it is worth highlighting another thread in the Trump-Russia timeline that intersects with Cohen’s admission that the Moscow Project deal lasted into summer 2016. Cohen and Sater also worked on a backchannel plan for Ukraine that Ukraine’s ambassador would later say could have been produced “only by those openly or covertly representing Russian interests.” According to a Ukrainian politician involved in the secret plan, the discussions with Sater and Cohen began “at the time of the primaries, when no one believed that Trump would even be nominated.” In other words, the two deals–the Cohen-Sater Moscow Project and the Cohen-Sater Ukraine backchannel plan–may have overlapped in time, raising questions about any quid pro quo.
