Lanny Davis, the attorney for Michael Cohen, has dropped another bombshell, this time on CNN. Davis told BuzzFeed that he was one of the anonymous sources for CNN's July 27 report alleging that Cohen had information that Trump approved of the infamous Trump Tower meeting in June 2016.
Lanny Davis has acknowledged that he was an anonymous source for CNN for a now-debunked story published in July claiming that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen is willing to tell the special counsel's office that President Donald Trump had foreknowledge of the infamous Trump Tower meeting.
The report marked a major development in the Russia investigation because both Trump Jr. and Trump have denied that Trump knew about the June 9, 2016 meeting until it was reported last July.
Davis said that the original CNN report got "Mixed up," and that Cohen does not know whether Trump had advance knowledge of the Trump Tower meeting.
"So Michael Cohen does not have information that President Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians beforehand or even after?" Cooper asked Davis.
"Pro-Trump websites are claiming the CNN story was a 'lie,' and that it's been 'debunked.' They might want it to be 'debunked,' but it's not. The critics don't know who CNN's sources were," wrote Oliver Darcy, a media reporter at CNN. CNN doubled down on its defense of the story in a statement on Monday to BuzzFeed.
In multiple interviews earlier in August, Davis said that Cohen had "Knowledge about the computer crime of hacking and whether or not Mr. Trump knew ahead of time about that crime and even cheered it on."
