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 dont know anything about it.
Said Trump Jr.: But the reality is this wasnt a deal we dont know the developer. We dont know the site. We dont 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 wasnt exactly a deal guy. He didnt bring too many to the table. So, I dont 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.

(1,822 posts)2. The entire Trump family lies with such ease
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.
