How Cohen's Plea Compares To What Don Jr. Told A Senate Committee
By Tierney Sneed
November 29, 2018 2:32 pm
A line in the court documents related to Michael Cohen’s plea Thursday, in which Cohen admitted to lying to Congress, raised new questions about what Donald Trump Jr. testified to various committees.
Cohen’s plea documents focus on what he told Congress about his work on a Trump Tower project in Moscow, and in them, special counsel Robert Mueller revealed that Cohen briefed Trump’s “family members” who work for the Trump Organization about the project.
It just so happens that one of those family members, Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. has testified privately in front of a number of congressional committees and one of those committees has since released a transcript of that testimony.
The testimony, in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, happened behind closed doors in September 2017. Trump Jr. was also interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee and the Senate Intel Committee, but those transcripts have not been made public.
Senate Judiciary staff asked Trump Jr. about the reports of proposal for a Trump Tower Moscow that Cohen was working on and Trump Jr. confirmed the reports.
