A tantalizing passage in special counsel Robert Mueller’s sentencing memo for Michael Cohen includes a mysterious line that could prove highly significant. It states that, in addition to details about the Trump Organization’s efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, the president’s former lawyer and fixer provided Mueller’s team “with useful information concerning certain discreet Russia-related matters core to its investigation” that he learned from other Trump Organization executives during the 2016 campaign. This hints at the possibility of other connections between Trump and Russia that may still be unknown.


Mueller’s memo is kinder to Cohen than a separate filing by the office of the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, which downplayed Cohen’s assistance and suggested he receive a “substantial term of imprisonment.” Mueller said Cohen’s information “has been credible and consistent with other evidence obtained in the [Special Counsel’s Office’s] ongoing investigation.”

Mueller’s filing says Cohen kept President Donald Trump up to speed on his efforts to win Kremlin support for the company’s effort to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. This information is important, Mueller says, because Cohen’s efforts to seal the Moscow deal “came at a time of sustained efforts by the Russian government to interfere with the U.S. presidential election.”

Mueller’s memo repeatedly highlights the leverage the prospective project gave Russia over Trump. “The Moscow Project was a lucrative business opportunity that sought, and likely required, the assistance of the Russian government,” it notes. If completed, the Trump Organization “could have received hundreds of millions of dollars from Russian sources in licensing fees and other revenues.”
