Trump Jr. Blames Cohen for Moscow Deal
January 22, 2019 at 7:14 am EST By Taegan Goddard 26 Comments


In a Fox News interview, Donald Trump Jr. blamed Michael Cohen for the Trump Tower Moscow project saying, “We don’t know anything about it.”

Said Trump Jr.: “But the reality is this wasn’t a deal — we don’t know the developer. We don’t know the site. We don’t know anything about it. Ultimately, it was Michael Cohen essentially trying to get a deal done. You know, he was there for a long time. He wasn’t exactly a deal guy. He didn’t bring too many to the table. So, I don’t think anyone took it all that seriously.”

Axios: “Trump Jr.’s statement contradicts multiple facts that have already been made public about the Moscow project — mentioned publicly in a 2013 Trump tweet — which was formalized in a letter of intent signed by Trump in October 2015 with a team of developers first revealed in 2017.”

its sickening and quite frightening. I wonder how someone gets to the point in life where they can just lie with such ease and then when they are caught just act like they never said the lie.

I constantly make deals with other people's money that they don't have a clue about.
