‘It’s All Made Up’: Lara Trump Calls Blockbuster Cohen Story ‘Ridiculous’

President Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump, a senior adviser for his 2020 campaign, on Friday sought to downplay an explosive new report that Donald Trump instructed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about a real estate project in Moscow.

“I will tell you, I think Michael Cohen is a very desperate man,” Lara Trump told Fox News. “I think he holds no water whatsoever. We’ve seen that he has perjured himself in the past. It’s ridiculous. It’s all made up. And I always say that the truth will come out with these things. And I think you will see the truth come out. And I think sadly Michael Cohen is a fraud, and he is trying to get his last couple minutes of fame.”


BuzzFeed reported early Friday that Trump had directed Cohen to lie to Congress about a Trump Tower project in Moscow. Late last year, Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress, among other federal crimes, and has been sentenced to serve three years in prison.

Obviously, there's something WRONG with him. The lights are on, but nobody is home. Maybe he was repeatedly dropped on his head as a child.

Add that to the fact that their combined IQ is under 100 and it's just a really sad situation. I really hope they don't have anymore children.

And, yes. That is Qusay's wife. It will be interesting to see whether or not she escapes prison time with the rest of that crime family.

desperately fudging facts, and obliterating the truth, so their shameful criminal and treasonous acts will not be exposed to the light of truth.
