Buzzfeed News Reporter Jason Leopold Says He's Seen Documents Supporting Bombshell Report

BuzzFeed News Reporters Jason Leopold and Anthony Cormier have an explosive story out claiming Michael Cohen was directed to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower Moscow by President Donald Trump. The report claims Cohen told Robert Mueller about the president’s order, corroborating other evidence reportedly in the possession of federal investigators.

When Cormier appeared on CNN Friday morning to talk about the scoop, he was asked if he has seen any of the reported evidence for himself. Cormier answered “No, I’ve not seen it personally,” but insisted that his sources are “fully, 100 percent read-in to that aspect of the special counsel’s investigation.”

Cormier continued to defend his piece throughout the interview, even as Alisyn Comerota noted that his co-author, Leopold, has a history of false reporting.
