Michael Cohen and his Clinton crony lawyer are now claiming in a new 12 page memo that they magically found a hard drive that contains documents proving everything from Trump/Russian collusion to Trump directing Cohen to lie to Congress about it.
WASHINGTON - Attorneys for Michael Cohen, President Trump's former fixer, submitted documents to lawmakers Thursday night accusing Trump and his team of lawyers of instructing Cohen to lie to Congress about when negotiations ended to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
In a 12-page memo sent to top House Democrats, Cohen's attorneys said Trump "Encouraged Cohen to lie and say all Moscow Tower project contacts ended as of January 31, 2016 using 'code' language - telling Cohen during various conversations that there was 'no collusion, no Russian contacts, nothing about Russia' after the start of the campaign.'".
Cohen's memo supports BuzzFeed News's earlier reporting that Cohen told investigators Trump had directed him to lie about the timing of real estate negotiations in Moscow.
What they don't mention is that Cohen, just weeks ago, told Congress under oath that Trump did not direct him to lie.
"In May 2016, Cohen told Trump he could travel to Russia to assist the building of the project either before or after the GOP Convention in August, and Trump agreed," Cohen's attorneys wrote.
Highlighting evidence he provided to congressional committees in February, a letter that accompanied the memo states that Cohen "Was only recently able to access a hard drive with important documents," and that the "Drive contains over 14 million files, which consist of all e-mails, voice recordings, images, and attachments from Mr. Cohen's computers and phones." Lanny Davis, one of Cohen's attorneys, told BuzzFeed News that Cohen had no access to the hard drive when he testified before Congress earlier this year because it had been seized by prosecutors and was returned to him only last week.
